Poincare disk model of hyperbolic plane.
Geodesics in this model are segments of circles orthogonal to the unit circle (circle at infinity).
The model is conformal - the angles between intersecting geodesics are equal to the euclidean angles
between the tangent lines of the circle.
This tiling with right angled regular pentagons is hyperbolic analog of simple square tiling of the euclidean plane. |
Band model of the hyperbolic plane is obtained by applying to the disk model a special conformal
map of the complex plane:
`w =(4/\pi)tanh\^-1(z);` `z, w \in CC, |Im(w)| < 1, |z| < 1` The band model is conformal, because it is obtained from disk model using conformal transformation. [animation] |
The same hyperbolic tiling in the band model may have different euclidean periods. The period depends on the particlular location and orientation of the tiling in the disk model before stretching the disk into the band. |
Ring can be obtained from the infinite band using conformal mapping `w = exp(z/a), z \in CC`. In order to make the tiles match around the ring, the real parameter `a \in R` should be divisible by the euclidean period of the tiling in the band model. There is infinite series of different value such parameters, which makes infinite series of different rings from the same hyperbolic tiling. |
