§7.14. The Inscribed Circle

This is the last section on hyperbolic trigonometry and we leave the reader to provide most of the details.

Theorem 7.14.1. Thethree angle bisectors of a triangle Tmeet at a point C in T.

PROOF. We may assume that y is the smallest angle so y < iv/2. Now construct angle bisectors at Va and Vb: these must meet at a point C in T(see Section 7.7).

Next, define and Y2 asin Figure 7.14.1. As /3/2, and Y2 areeach less than it/2, we can construct points Wa,Wband as in Figure 7.14.1 (and these points must lie on the open sides of T).

The Sine Rule applied to the two triangles with side Vb] gives

The same result holds with Wb instead of wa so the points Wa, and lie

on a circle with centre C. Moreover, elementary trigonometry now shows that

The circle centre passing through wa, Wb and is called the inscribed circle of T.

[(cos cc cos $ + cos y) — (sincc sinh x)(Sin /3 sinhy)]2

The identity

together with the relation

sin 0 = (1 + cos 8) tan(0/2)

yields

tanh R = sinhx tan(cc/2)

sin a sinh x = (1 + cos cc) tanh R.

A similar expression holds for /3,y and R and substitution yields (after some

simplification) the desired result. El

In Euclidean geometry, a triangle may have a large area but a small inscribed circle. The next result shows that the situation in hyperbolic geometry is quite different: for a proof of this, see [10].

Theorem 7.14.4. The radius R of the inscribed circle of T satisfies

tanh R

and this lower bound is best possible for each value of h-area(T).

Example 7.14.3 shows that this lower bound is best possible.

§7.15. The Area of a Polygon

A polygon P is the interior of a closed Jordan curve

[z1, z2] u [z2, z3] u u [zn, z1].

The interior angle of the polygon at is the angle determined by D n P for all sufficiently small discs D centered at Note that this is not neces- sarily the interior of the angle determined by the two sides of P leaving it is this interior angle if and only if 0 < < it. We allow the vertices to lie on the circle at infinity: if is such an infinite vertex, then = 0.

Theorem 7.15.1. If P is any polygon with interior angles ... , then

h-area(P) = (n 2)rr -I- + On).

PROOF. This has been proved for the case n = 3(Section 7.13) and from this it follows for convex polygons by subdivision of P into n — 2 triangles (the details are omitted). It is worth noting explicitly that Theorem 15.1 applies to all polygons whether convex or not.

The proof for non-convex polygons is also by subdivision into triangles:

the subdivision is less tractable but we can compensate for this by using Euler's formula. We begin by extending each side of P to a complete geodesic.

This provides a subdivision of the entire hyperbolic plane into a finite number of non-overlapping convex polygons (convex as each is the inter- section of half-planes).

154 7. Hyperbolic Geometry

We now consider only those polygons P1 of the subdivision which lie in the original polygon P. By convexity, each P1 can be subdivided into triangles.

We have now subdivided P into non-overlapping triangles such that each vertex of P is a vertex of some i and each side of a is either a side of some other or is part of a side of P (and not of any other

Let this triangulation of P have N triangles, E edges, V vertices and let there be E0 edges which lie in the sides of P. Euler's formula for the sphere yields

(N + 1) — E

+ V =

As each of the N triangles has three sides we count sides in different ways and obtain

3N = E0 + 2(E — E0).

Elimination of E now gives

N — 2V

We can now compute areas. Of the V vertices in the subdivision, n occur as vertices of P, E0 — noccur at points lying interior to a side ofF and V — E0

Remark. For a Euclidean polygon, of course, we have

§7.16. Convex Polygons

We establish two results concerning convex polygons. The first is a necessary and sufficient condition for a polygon to be convex: the second establishes the existence of convex polygons with prescribed angles.

Theorem 7.16.1. Let P be a polygon with interior angles 01,

...,

Then P is convex andonly each

satisfies 0 it.

§7.16. Convex Polygons 155

This is an immediate consequence of Theorem 7.5.1 Observe that Theorem 7.15.1 shows that a necessary condition for the existence of a polygon with interior angles .. ., 8,,is

01+..+B,,<(n—2)ir.

In fact, for convex polygons (and possibly for all polygons) this is also

sufficient.

Theorem 7.16.2. Let 0,,

In fact, we shall construct a polygon P with these angles and with an inscribed disc touching all sides of P.

because of (7.16.1). The Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees the existence of a positive d with g(d) = it andwith defined by (7.16.3), we see that (7.16.2) holds.

§7.17. Quadrilaterals

It is a direct consequence of Theorem 7.16.2 that there exist quadrilaterals with angles it/2, it/2, ir/2, 4) if and only if 0 4> < ,t/2: such a quadrilateral

is illustrated in Figure 7.17.1. This quadrilateral is known as a Lainbert quadrilateral (after J. H. Lambert, 1728-1777). If we reflect across one side we obtain a quadrilateral with angles 11/2, it/2, 4>, 4>: this quadrilateral (illustrated in Figure 7.17.2) was used by G. Saccheri (1667—1733) in his study of the parallel postulate and is known as the Saccheri quadrilateral.

The next theorem refers to Figure 7.17.1.

§7.17. Quadrilaterals 157

Theorem 7.17.1. (i) sinh a1 sinh a2 = cos

(ii) cosh a1 = cosh b1 sin

The proof depends on two useful preliminary results.

Lenuna 7.17.2. Let L be a hyperbolic geodesic in A with Euclidean centre and radius r and let w be the point on L which is nearest to the origin. Then

sinh p(O,w) 1/r, coshp(O,w) =

PROOF. Clearly, I

+ r and orthogonality gives 1 + r2. Using (7.2.4) we obtain sinh

p(O, w)

The value for cosh follows immediately.

Lemma 7.17.3. Let L and L' be geodesics in the hyperbolic plane. Then the inversive product (L, L') is

cosh p(L, L'), 1, cos

according as L and are disjoint, parallel or intersecting at an angle where o q5 ir/2.

PROOF. It is not difficult to see that disjoint geodesics have a common orthog- onal geodesic (see Section 7.22) and (for the moment) p(L, L') is defined to be the length of this orthogonal segment between L and L'. By the usual invariance arguments we need only consider the cases

(i) L, L' are in H2 and are given by Izi = r, Izl = R;

(ii) L, L' are in H2 and are given by x = 0,

x =

(iii) L, L' are Euclidean diameters of A.

Figure 7.17.2

158 7. Hyperbolic Geometry

In all these cases, the formula for (L, L') given in Section 3.2 yields the desired result.

PROOF OF THEOREM 7.17.1. We may suppose that the quadrilateral in Figure 7.17.1 has the sides a1 and a2 lying on the positive real and imaginary axes.

Suppose that the sides labelled b1 and b2 lie on the circles

z—ivl=R, z—uI=r,

respectively, where u, v, r and R are positive. Then by Lemma 7.17.2, sinh a1 sinh a2 = l/rR.

Lemma 7.17.3 implies that

(L, L') =cos and from Section 3.2 we have

(L,L') =

+ R2—ju —

r2 + R2 — u2

2rR

= 1/rR because, for example, u2 = 1 + r2.

To prove (ii) we relocate the polygon so that the vertex with angle is at the origin and the side labelled b2 is on the positive real axis: see Figure 7.17.3.

Now reflect the quadrilateral in the real axis: let L be the geodesic con- taining the side labelled a2 and let L' be its reflection in the real axis. By Lemma 7.17.3 we have

(L, L') = cosh(2a1). (7.17.1)

EXERaSE 7.17

I. Derive Lemma 7.17.2 directly from Theorem 7.9.1 (Lemma 7.17.2 is simply a re- statement of the Angle of Parallelism formula).

§7.18. Pentagons

We shall examine the metric relationships which exist for the pentagon illustrated in Figure 7.18.1 where 0 < it.

Theorem 7.18.1. (i) cosh a cosh c + cos 4, =sinh a cosh b sinh c.

(ii) If 4, = n/2 then

tanh a cosh b tanh c = 1, sinh a sinh b = coshd.

(7.18.1) (7.18.2) PROOF. It is easy to see that there is a geodesic through the vertex with angle 4, which meets and is orthogonal to the side of length b. Let b1 and b2 be the

lengths as illustrated and let 4)2be the subdivision of 4); being on the same side of this geodesic as the side of length b1. By Theorem 7.17.1, we have

cosh a =coshh sin cosh c = cosh h sin 4)2, sinh asinh b1 = cos

sinh c sinh b2 = cos4)2.

It follows that

(cosh a cosh c — sin sin 4)2)2

= (cosh a cosh c — sin sin 4)2)2 — (cosh a sin 4)2 —cosh c sin 4)i)2

= (cosh2 a —sin2 4)1)(cosh2 c — sin2 4)2)

(sinh2 a + cos2 4)1)(sinh2 c + cos2 4)2)

= (sinh2 a cosh2 b1)(sinh2 c cosh2 b2) and so, taking positive square roots,

cosh a cosh c — sin sin 4)2 =sinh a sinh c cosh b1 cosh b2.

This leads directly to (i) as

cosh a cosh c + cos 4) = cosh a cosh C — sin + COS

= sinha sinh c (cosh b1 cosh b2 + sinh b1 sinh b2) sinh a sinh c cosh b.

Putting 4) = it/2 in (i), we obtain (7.18.1). To prove (7.18.2), we apply (7.18.1) to the triple b, c, d and eliminate c from the resulting expression and (7.18.1).

§7.19. Hexagons

We shall only consider the right-angled hexagon illustrated in Figure 7.19.1.

If we join the end-points of the sides labelled a1 and b1 to form a quadrilateral Q,wefind that each interior angle of Q is less than ir/2. This implies that the sides labelled a1 and b1 have a common orthogonal of length, say t, as illustrated.

Theorem 7.19.1.

sinh a1 sinha2 sinh a3 sinh b1 — sinhb2 — sinh b3

PROOF. From Theorem 7.18.1 we obtain

sinh b2 sinh a3 =cosh

t =

sinha2 sinh b3

and the result follows by symmetry considerations.

§7.19. Hexagons 161

Theorem 7.19.2.

cosh b1 sinh a2 sinh a3 = cosha1 + cosh a2 cosh a3 PROOF. From Theorem 7.18.1 we obtain the identities

sinh x sinh a2 = cosh u;

sinh y sinh a3 = coshv;

sinh u sinh t = cosh a2;

sinh v sinh t = cosh a3.

Next, we obtain the identity

(cosh2 a2 + sinh2 u)(cosh2 a3 + sinh2 v)

= (cosha2 cosh a3 + sinh u sinh v)2 by expressing both sides as functions of u, a and t. Thus

cosh b1 sinh a2 sinh a3

= (coshx cosh y + sinh x sinh y)sinh a2 sinh a3

= coshx cosh y sinh a2 sinh a3 + cosh u cosh v

= (coshx sinh a2)(cosh y sinh a3) + cosh u cosh v

= (sinh2 a2 + cosh2 u)112(sinh2 a3 + cosh2 v

= (cosh2 a2 + sinh2 u)112(cosh2 a3 + sinh2 v)'12 + cosh u cosh v

= cosh a2 cosh a3 + sinh u sinh v + cosh u cosh v. EJ

Remark. Theorem 7.19.2 shows that the lengths of all sides of the hexagon are determined by the lengths a,, a2 and a3.

§7.20. The Distance of a Point from a Line

For each point z and each geodesic L, define p(z, L) = inf{p(z, w): we L}.

There is a unique geodesic L1 through z and orthogonal to L and p(z, L) is the distance from z to L measured along L1.

We work in H2 and we may assume that L is the positive imaginary axis.

Then

L1 = = zI}

and we are asserting that

p(z, L) = p(z,iIzI). (7.20.1)

Each point on L is of the form it (t > 0) and from Theorem 7.2.1, x2 + y2 + t2

tanh p(z, L) = sin 8.

As an application of these formulae, note that the regions {zEH2: p(z,L) <k} (k > 0) are precisely the hypercyclic regions described in Section 7.5.

We can also obtain a formula for p(z, L) when L is the Euclidean semi- circle {w: wi = r} in H2: see Figure 7.20.2.

Suppose first that I z < r. With 0 as in Figure 7.20.2, the Euclidean circle through z, rand —rhas centre —ir(tan and radius r/cos 0. Thus

(7.20.4) We shall also need a formula for the model when L is the real diameter (—1, 1) of In this case we show that for all w in

sinhp(w, L) = (7.20.5)

First, there is a unique geodesic L' through w and orthogonal to L. Let L and L' meet at then there is an isometry g of A which fixes —1and 1, which maps to 0 and which leaves L invariant. Now g maps V to the segment (— i, i) and so g(w) = it for some real t. The relationship between w and t is

§7.22. The Common Orthogonal of Disjoint Geodesics

If L1 and L2 are disjoint geodesics then there exists a unique geodesic which is orthogonal to both L1 and L2.

The assertion remains invariant under isometries so we may assume that L1 and L2 are in H2 with equations

x=0, (x—a)2+y2r=r2,

respectively, where a > r > 0. The only geodesics orthogonal to L1 are those with equations Iz = t and such a geodesic is orthogonal to L2 if and only if a2 = r2 + t2. As a > r there is a unique positive t satisfying this equation.

EXERCISE 7.22

§7.23. The Distance Between Disjoint Geodesics

For disjoint geodesics L1 and L2 define

p(L1, L2) = inf{p(z,w): z eL1, weL2}.

The distance p(L1, L2) between L1 and L2 is the distance measured along their common orthogonal.

We work in H2 and assume that the common orthogonal is the positive imaginary axis. Then L1 and L2 are given by zi = r, z = R, say and the result follows from (7.20.4) (see also Section 5.4).

There are other convenient expressions for p(L1, L2), for example Lemma 7.17.2. Also, p(L1, L2) can be expressed as a cross-ratio: if L1 has end-points

z1 and22 and if L2 has end-points w1 and w2, these occurring in the order Zi, w1, z2 aroundthe circle at infinity, then

[z1, W1, 22] . L2)] = 1. (7.23.1)

§7.25. The Bisector of Two Geodesics

Let L1 and L2 be distinct geodesics: the bisector of L1 and L2 is

We show that L is one or two geodesics.

Case 1: L1 and L2 are parallel.

In this case, take L1 and L2 to be x = a

Using (7.20.5) with z = re" this becomes [sin(U + t)]2 [sin(U —

whichgives L as the union of the two geodesics (—1, 1) and (—i, i).

§7.26. Transversals

Let L1 and L2 be disjoint geodesics. A geodesic L is

a O-transrersal

(0<0< it/2)ofL1 andL2 ifandonlyifLmeetsbothL1 andL2atanangle

0. As an example of how O-transversals arise naturally consider the isometry g(z) =kz(k > 0) of H2 and the geodesic L given by x =0.If L1 is any geodesic meeting L, the L is a 6-transversal of L1 and g(L1). We need to investigate the metric relations which exist for O-transversals.

The common orthogonal of L1 and L2 is h the unique ir/2-transversal of L1 and L2. We shall see that for all other values of 6 there are exactly four 6-transversals. Let L0 be the common orthogonal of L1 and L2 and let L*

be the bisector of L1 and L2. We shall work in A and we assume that L0 = (— 1, 1), L* = (— i,i).

The situation is then as illustrated in Figure 7.26.1 where the four transversals are shown, two in each case. We omit the proofs (which are not difficult) that any 0 in (0, can be attained in this way and that there are no other O-transversals.

With an obvious reference to Euclidean geometry, we call the 6-transversals in Case (i) the alternate transversals: those in Case (ii) are the complementary transversals. Let t0 denote the length of the segment of a 0-transversal which

§7.27. The General Theory of Pencils

Much of the hyperbolic geometry required for a detailed discussion of Fuchsian groups is best described in terms of pencils of geodesics. For example, we see that circles, horocycles and hypercycles are simply varia- tions of the same idea and this brings a greater unity into the subject. We shall also see that the classification of pencils leads naturally to the classification of isometries which is more illuminating than that given in Section 4.3. In this section we merely describe the notion of a pencil and list its main prop- erties: the details occur in the next three sections.

Each pair of geodesics, say L and L', lie in a geometrically defined one- parameter family of geodesics called the pencil determined by L and L'.
