Hyperbolic Geometry Hyperbolic Geometry SHIVANI BAISIWALA S O RI BAEK INTRODUCTION What is it? Hyperbolic Geometry is form of non- Euclidean geometry Obtained by considering only the first four postulates of Euclid and replacing the parallel postulate by its negation, the hyperbolic axiom. Postulates of Euclidean Geometry 1. A straight line may be drawn from any given point to any other 2. A straight line may be extended to any finite length 3. A circle may be described with any given point as its center and any distance as its radius 4. All right angles are congruent 5. If a straight line intersects two other straight lines, and so makes the two interior angles on one side of it together less than two right angles, then the other straight lines will meet at a point if extended far enough on the side on which the angles are less than two right angles. REPLACED WITH There exists a line and an external point not lying on this line such that there are at least two lines passing through this point and parallel to this line – aka Hyperbolic Axiom Basic Properties of Hyperbolic Geometry All triangles have angle sum less than 180. 180 minus the angle sum of a triangle is a positive number known as the defect of the triangle. Rectangles do not exist. If two triangles are similar, they are congruent. All convex quadrilaterals have angle sum less than 360. There are an infinite number of parallels for any given line. If two angles are similar, they are also congruent. It is impossible to magnify or shrink a triangle without distortion, so solely similar triangles do not exist. Viewing Hyperbolic Space Hyperbolic space is defined by negative curvature in all directions. In a sense, it can be thought of as the opposite of a sphere. Models Of Hyperbolic Geometry Two major models – Two ways to mathematically “view” hyperbolic space. Beltrami – Klein Model Poincare Model Beltrami – Klein Model Think of a circle Y in the Euclidean plane. If O is the center of circle Y, and OR is a radius, the interior of Y consists of all points X such at OX < OR All these points represent the points of the hyperbolic plane in Klein’s model. Klein Model Continued Remember that a chord is a segment from one end of the circle to another. Now, consider that chord without its endpoints. In Klein’s model, these are the lines of the hyperbolic plane. Parallels in Klein Model The definition of two parallel lines is that they never meet in the plane under discussion. The fact that they may meet outside the circle is irrelevant, because that is not part of the Klein model. Therefore, the two intersecting lines are both parallel to the line at the bottom. The Poincare Model This model is a disk model that also represents the points of the hyperbolic plane by the points interior to a Euclidean circle Y Lines are defined differently. Poincare Model Continued Only open diameters (chords that pass through the center) are considered lines. The other lines are represented by open arcs or circles orthogonal to Y. All arcs are considered parallel as long as they don’t meet. GEOMETRY IN THE HYPERBOLIC PLANE HYPERBOLIC TRIANGLES TRADITIONAL AREA CALCULATIONS In traditional geometry, we calculate areas of triangles by essentially breaking up the area of a rectangle into two. Hence, we have our traditional triangle area formula: However, this cannot work in hyperbolic geometry. Why? Because rectangles do not exist in hyperbolic geometry, so the whole basis of our area formula is removed. CALCULATING AREA AND DEFECT In hyperbolic geometry, the area function of a triangle has the following properties: Invariance under congruence: Congruent triangles have the same area. Additivity: If a polygonT is split into two polygons – T1 and T2 – by a segment joining a vertex to a point of the opposite side, then the area of T is the sum of the areas of T1 and T2. Defect is important This is the difference between the expected angle sum of a given polygon in Euclidean space and its actual angle sum in Hyperbolic space. It is always positive and is given by where n is the number of sides of the polygon. AREA FORMULAS Area formula for hyperbolic geometry for a polygon angles measured in degrees (so your answer will end up in radians) where is a proportionality constant that is typically set at k = 1. SOMETHING INTERESTING Since defect measures how much the angle sum is less than 180, the highest it can be is 180 (if the angle sum of the actual triangle is 0). Therefore, the maximum area of any triangle is . However, no triangle actually achieve this. It is essentially an asymptotic value, since we can approach it as closely as we like by making the shape of our triangle achieve a trebly asymptotic appearance. CACULAT E THE AREA Given a triangle with angle measures A = 14.2, B = 13.4, and C = 43.4, calculate the defect (in degrees) and the area (in radians) of the triangle. CALCULATE Given a triangle with area , and two angle measures of 32 and 40, calculate the third angle measure of the triangle. AREA AND CIRCUMFERENCE The circumference of a circle of radius is given by: The area of a circle with radius is The area of a hyperbolic circle is much larger than the area of a Euclidean circle with the same radius. CALCULATE Calculate the area and the circumference of a circle with radius = 2ln2 (Hint: Recall that ) CALCULATE Given a circle with radius 2, calculate the circumference. TESSELLATIONS A regular tessellation is covering of the plane by regular polygons so that the same number of polygons meet at each vertex. There are infinitely many hyperbolic tessellations.. How do you know if something is a tessellation? Tessellations are written in the notation {n,k}, known as the Schlafli symbol, where n is the number of sides on the polygon and k is the number of polygons that meet at each vertex. If is equal to .5, you have a Euclidean tessellation. If it is less than .5, you have a hyperbolic tessellation. If it is greater than .5, you have an elliptic tessellation. EXAMPLES HYPERBOLIC TESSELLATIONS You can calculate area of the shapes in hyperbolic tessellations using the Schlafli symbol. Keep in mind that tessellations use regular polygons, where all the angles are equal Given a tessellation {n,k}, you know that each angle measure of the polygon used will be . Once you have the angles, you can calculate defect, and then calculate area. CALCULATE Calculate the area of each polygon used in the hyperbolic tessellation given by {3,10}. CALCULATE Given that the area of a decagon used in a hyperbolic tessellation is , find the Schlafli symbol. CREATE YOUR OWN TESSELLATION .

  • Squaring the Circle a Case Study in the History of Mathematics the Problem
    Squaring the Circle A Case Study in the History of Mathematics The Problem Using only a compass and straightedge, construct for any given circle, a square with the same area as the circle. The general problem of constructing a square with the same area as a given figure is known as the Quadrature of that figure. So, we seek a quadrature of the circle. The Answer It has been known since 1822 that the quadrature of a circle with straightedge and compass is impossible. Notes: First of all we are not saying that a square of equal area does not exist. If the circle has area A, then a square with side √A clearly has the same area. Secondly, we are not saying that a quadrature of a circle is impossible, since it is possible, but not under the restriction of using only a straightedge and compass. Precursors It has been written, in many places, that the quadrature problem appears in one of the earliest extant mathematical sources, the Rhind Papyrus (~ 1650 B.C.). This is not really an accurate statement. If one means by the “quadrature of the circle” simply a quadrature by any means, then one is just asking for the determination of the area of a circle. This problem does appear in the Rhind Papyrus, but I consider it as just a precursor to the construction problem we are examining. The Rhind Papyrus The papyrus was found in Thebes (Luxor) in the ruins of a small building near the Ramesseum.1 It was purchased in 1858 in Egypt by the Scottish Egyptologist A.

  • On the Hawking Wormhole Horizon Entropy
    ON THE HAWKING WORMHOLE HORIZON ENTROPY Hristu Culetu, Ovidius University, Dept.of Physics, B-dul Mamaia 124, 8700 Constanta, Romania e-mail : [email protected] November 11, 2018 Abstract The entropy S of the horizon θ = π/2 of the Hawking wormhole written in spherical Rindler coordinates is computed in this letter. Us- ing Padmanabhan’s prescription, we found that the surface gravity of the horizon is constant and equals the proper acceleration of the Rindler ob- server. S is a monotonic function of the radial coordinate ξ and vanishes when ξ equals the Planck length. In addition, its expression is similar with the Kaul-Majumdar one for the black hole entropy, including logarithmic corrections in quantum gravity scenarios. Keywords : surface gravity, spherical Rindler coordinates, horizon entropy. PACS Nos : 04.60 - m ; 02.40.-k ; 04.90.+e. 1 Introduction The connection between gravity and thermodynamics is one of the most sur- arXiv:hep-th/0409079v4 14 Apr 2006 prising features of gravity. Once the geometrical meaning of gravity is accepted, surfaces which act as one-way membranes for information will arise, leading to some connection with entropy, interpreted as the lack of information [1] [2]. As T.Padmanabhan has noticed [3], in any spacetime we might have a family of observers following a congruence of timelike curves which have no access to part of spacetime (a horizon is formed which blocks the informations from those observers). Keeping in mind that QFT does not recognize any nontrivial geometry of space- time in a local inertial frame, we could use a uniformly accelerated frame (a local Rindler frame) to study the connection between one way membranes arising in a spacetime and the thermodynamical entropy.

  • The Method of Exhaustion
    The method of exhaustion The method of exhaustion is a technique that the classical Greek mathematicians used to prove results that would now be dealt with by means of limits. It amounts to an early form of integral calculus. Almost all of Book XII of Euclid’s Elements is concerned with this technique, among other things to the area of circles, the volumes of tetrahedra, and the areas of spheres. I will look at the areas of circles, but start with Archimedes instead of Euclid. 1. Archimedes’ formula for the area of a circle We say that the area of a circle of radius r is πr2, but as I have said the Greeks didn’t have available to them the concept of a real number other than fractions, so this is not the way they would say it. Instead, almost all statements about area in Euclid, for example, is to say that one area is equal to another. For example, Euclid says that the area of two parallelograms of equal height and base is the same, rather than say that area is equal to the product of base and height. The way Archimedes formulated his Proposition about the area of a circle is that it is equal to the area of a triangle whose height is equal to it radius and whose base is equal to its circumference: (1/2)(r · 2πr) = πr2. There is something subtle here—this is essentially the first reference in Greek mathematics to the length of a curve, as opposed to the length of a polygon.

Introduction Geometry exists in the world around us both in manmade and natural form. This first section covers some aspects of plane geometry such as lines, points, angles and circles. A point marks a point, a position, yet is does not have a size. However, physically, when we draw a point it will have width, but as an abstract concept, it really represents a point in our imagination. A line also has no width; it will extend infinitely in both directions. When drawing a line, physically it has width, yet it is an abstract representation in our minds. Given two distinct points for a line to pass though – there will only ever be the one line. The points are generally referred to with upper case letters and the line with lower case. For instance we may draw line though points and : The line may be referred to as line or as line . The distance between and is called a line segment or interval. If we had two lines, there would be two possibilities. They would either meet at a single point, and they would form angles at the intersection. Or they would never meet, and then they would be parallel lines.

  • SPACETIME & GRAVITY: the GENERAL THEORY of RELATIVITY
    1 SPACETIME & GRAVITY: The GENERAL THEORY of RELATIVITY We now come to one of the most extraordinary developments in the history of science - the picture of gravitation, spacetime, and matter embodied in the General Theory of Relativity (GR). This theory was revolutionary in several di®erent ways when ¯rst proposed, and involved a fundamental change how we understand space, time, and ¯elds. It was also almost entirely the work of one person, viz. Albert Einstein. No other scientist since Newton had wrought such a fundamental change in our understanding of the world; and even more than Newton, the way in which Einstein came to his ideas has had a deep and lasting influence on the way in which physics is done. It took Einstein nearly 8 years to ¯nd the ¯nal and correct form of the theory, after he arrived at his 'Principle of Equivalence'. During this time he changed not only the fundamental ideas of physics, but also how they were expressed; and the whole style of theoretical research, the relationship between theory and experiment, and the role of theory, were transformed by him. Physics has become much more mathematical since then, and it has become commonplace to use purely theoretical arguments, largely divorced from experiment, to advance new ideas. In what follows little attempt is made to discuss the history of this ¯eld. Instead I concentrate on explaining the main ideas in simple language. Part A discusses the new ideas about geometry that were crucial to the theory - ideas about curved space and the way in which spacetime itself became a physical entity, essentially a new kind of ¯eld in its own right.
