Hyperbolic Points

This module implements points in hyperbolic space of arbitrary dimension. It also contains the implementations for specific models of hyperbolic geometry.

This module also implements ideal points in hyperbolic space of arbitrary dimension. It also contains the implementations for specific models of hyperbolic geometry.

Note that not all models of hyperbolic space are bounded, meaning that the ideal boundary is not the topological boundary of the set underlying tho model. For example, the unit disk model is bounded with boundary given by the unit sphere. The hyperboloid model is not bounded.

EXAMPLES:

We can construct points in the upper half plane model, abbreviated UHP for convenience:

sage: UHP = HyperbolicPlane().UHP()
sage: UHP.get_point(2 + I)
Point in UHP I + 2
sage: g = UHP.get_point(3 + I)
sage: g.dist(UHP.get_point(I))
arccosh(11/2)

We can also construct boundary points in the upper half plane model:

sage: UHP.get_point(3)
Boundary point in UHP 3

Some more examples:

sage: HyperbolicPlane().UHP().get_point(0)
Boundary point in UHP 0

sage: HyperbolicPlane().PD().get_point(I/2)
Point in PD 1/2*I

sage: HyperbolicPlane().KM().get_point((0,1))
Boundary point in KM (0, 1)

sage: HyperbolicPlane().HM().get_point((0,0,1))
Point in HM (0, 0, 1)

class sage.geometry.hyperbolic_space.hyperbolic_point.HyperbolicPoint(model, coordinates, is_boundary, check=True, **graphics_options)

Bases: sage.structure.element.Element

Abstract base class for hyperbolic points. This class should never be instantiated.

INPUT:

• model – the model of the hyperbolic space
• coordinates – the coordinates of a hyperbolic point in the appropriate model
• is_boundary – whether the point is a boundary point
• check – (default: True) if True, then check to make sure the coordinates give a valid point in the model

EXAMPLES:

Comparison between different models is performed via coercion:

sage: UHP = HyperbolicPlane().UHP()
sage: p = UHP.get_point(.2 + .3*I); p
Point in UHP 0.200000000000000 + 0.300000000000000*I

sage: PD = HyperbolicPlane().PD()
sage: q = PD.get_point(0.2 + 0.3*I); q
Point in PD 0.200000000000000 + 0.300000000000000*I

sage: p == q
False
sage: PD(p)
Point in PD 0.231213872832370 - 0.502890173410405*I

sage: bool(p.coordinates() == q.coordinates())
True

Similarly for boundary points:

sage: p = UHP.get_point(-1); p
Boundary point in UHP -1

sage: q = PD.get_point(-1); q
Boundary point in PD -1

sage: p == q
True
sage: PD(p)
Boundary point in PD -1

It is an error to specify a point that does not lie in the appropriate model:

sage: HyperbolicPlane().UHP().get_point(0.2 - 0.3*I)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: 0.200000000000000 - 0.300000000000000*I is not a valid point in the UHP model

sage: HyperbolicPlane().PD().get_point(1.2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: 1.20000000000000 is not a valid point in the PD model

sage: HyperbolicPlane().KM().get_point((1,1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: (1, 1) is not a valid point in the KM model

sage: HyperbolicPlane().HM().get_point((1, 1, 1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: (1, 1, 1) is not a valid point in the HM model

It is an error to specify an interior point of hyperbolic space as a boundary point:

sage: HyperbolicPlane().UHP().get_point(0.2 + 0.3*I, is_boundary=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: 0.200000000000000 + 0.300000000000000*I is not a valid boundary point in the UHP model
