Abstract
We show that there exists a geodesic triangulation of a hyperbolic genus 2 surface with 10 vertices and an isometric polyhedral embedding that sends the triangles in to geodesic triangles in . We call this type of embedding a hyperbolic origami 2-torus. Since 10 is the combinatorially minimum number of vertices required to triangulate a genus 2 surface, this paper settles the question of minimum number of vertices required to obtain a hyperbolic origami 2-torus.
