Given a residually connected incidence geometry $\Gamma$ that satisfies two conditions, denoted $(B_1)$ and $(B_2)$, we construct a new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ with properties similar to those of $\Gamma$. This new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ is…
We give a trigonometric proof of the Steiner-Lehmus Theorem in hyperbolic geometry. Precisely we show that if two internal bisectors of a triangle on the hyperbolic plane are equal, then the triangle is isosceles.
By analogy with complex numbers, a system of hyperbolic numbers can be introduced in the same way: z=x+h*y with h*h=1 and x,y real numbers. As complex numbers are linked to the Euclidean geometry, so this system of numbers is linked to the…
Incidence theorems concern configurations of points, lines, and, more generally, higher-dimensional subspaces in projective space. Broadly speaking, such theorems fall into two classes: those that hold over an arbitrary division ring, such…
Let $\Sigma$ be a connected, oriented surface with punctures and negative Euler characteristic. We introduce regular globally hyperbolic anti-de Sitter structures on $\Sigma \times \mathbb{R}$ and provide two parameterisations of their…
We derive basic differential geometric formulae for surfaces in hyperbolic space represented as envelopes of horospheres. The dual notion of parallel hypersurfaces is also studied. The representation is applied to prove existence and…
Markov's theorem classifies the worst irrational numbers with respect to rational approximation and the indefinite binary quadratic forms whose values for integer arguments stay farthest away from zero. The main purpose of this paper is to…
A soft presentation of hyperbolic spaces, free of differential apparatus, is offered. Fifth Euclid's postulate in such spaces is overthrown and, among other things, it is proved that spheres (equipped with great-circle distances) and…
We study complex hyperbolicity in the setting of geometric orbifolds introduced by F. Campana. Generalizing classical methods to this context, we obtain degeneracy statements for entire curves with ramification in situations where no Second…
We provide a new formulation and proof of the triangle altitudes theorem in hyperbolic plane geometry, together with an easily computed discriminant to distinguish between different basic configurations of the altitudes of such a triangle.
In this paper we introduce a new type of Pascal's pyramids. The new object is called hyperbolic Pascal pyramid since the mathematical background goes back to the regular cube mosaic (cubic honeycomb) in the hyperbolic space. The definition…
We introduce a geometric transition between two homogeneous three-dimensional geometries: hyperbolic geometry and anti de Sitter (AdS) geometry. Given a path of three-dimensional hyperbolic structures that collapse down onto a hyperbolic…
An important problem in quaternionic hyperbolic geometry is to classify ordered $m$-tuples of pairwise distinct points in the closure of quaternionic hyperbolic n-space, $\overline{{\bf H}_\bh^n}$, up to congruence in the holomorphic…
Certain topics on polygons are extended from Euclidean to hyperbolic geometry. This first part deals with uniqueness and existence of cocyclic polygons with prescribed sidelengths. The non-Euclidean versions are more difficult due to the…
We define and compute hyperbolic coordinates and associated foliations which provide a new way to describe the geometry of the standard map. We also identify a uniformly hyperbolic region and a complementary 'critical' region containing a…
This is the first in a series of papers showing that Haken manifolds have hyperbolic structures; this first was published, the second two have existed only in preprint form, and later preprints were never completed. This eprint is only an…
In this paper, we generalize the well-known hyperbolic numbers to certain numeric structures scaled by the real numbers. Under our scaling of $\mathbb{R}$, the usual hyperbolic numbers are understood to be our 1-scaled hyperbolic numbers.…
In 1991, Beardon and Stephenson [2] generalized the classical Schwarz-Pick lemma in hyperbolic geometry to the discrete Schwarz-Pick lemma for Andreev circle packings. This paper continues to investigate the discrete Schwarz-Pick lemma for…
Chapter 1 is a short history of non-Euclidean geometry, which synthesises my readings of mostly secondary sources. Chapter 2 presents each of the main models of hyperbolic geometry, and describes the tesselation of the upper half-plane…
In this paper we describe trigonometry on the de Sitter surface. For that a characterization of geodesics is given, leading to various types of triangles. We define lengths and angles of these. Then, transferring the concept of polar…
