Seeing Through Hyperbolic Space: Visibility for $\lambda$-Geodesic Hyperplanes
Abstract
We study visibility from a fixed point in the presence of a Poisson process of --geodesic hyperplanes in a -dimensional hyperbolic space. The family of --geodesic hyperplanes interpolates between totally geodesic hyperplanes and horospheres. Our main result establishes a universality principle for this model: we prove that the fundamental visibility properties are invariant with respect to the parameter . Namely, there is a critical intensity such that the visible region is unbounded with positive probability for and almost surely bounded for . For we establish almost sure boundedness also at criticality. The value for is explicit and does not depend on . In the bounded phase, we show that the mean visible volume is identical with the known formula for . The key integral-geometric step is an explicit computation showing that the measure of -geodesic hyperplanes hitting a geodesic segment is a linear function of the length of the segment, independent of~.
