The return sequence of the Bowen-Series map for punctured surfaces

Manuel Stadlbauer (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a non-compact hyperbolic surface M of finite area, we study a certain Poincaré section for the geodesic flow. The canonical, non-invertible factor of the first return map to this section is shown to be pointwise dual ergodic with return sequence (aₙ) given by aₙ = π/(4(Area(M) + 2π)) · n/(log n). We use this result to deduce that the section map itself is rationally ergodic, and that the geodesic flow associated to M is ergodic with respect to the Liouville measure. ...

The role of Sommerville tetrahedra in numerical mathematics

Hošek, Radim (2017)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In this paper we summarize three recent results in computational geometry, that were motivated by applications in mathematical modelling of fluids. The cornerstone of all three results is the genuine construction developed by D. Sommerville already in 1923. We show Sommerville tetrahedra can be effectively used as an underlying mesh with additional properties and also can help us prove a result on boundary-fitted meshes. Finally we demonstrate the universality of the Sommerville's construction by...

The theorems of Stewart and Steiner in the Poincaré disc model of hyperbolic geometry

Oğuzhan Demirel (2009)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In [Comput. Math. Appl. 41 (2001), 135--147], A. A. Ungar employs the Möbius gyrovector spaces for the introduction of the hyperbolic trigonometry. This Ungar's work plays a major role in translating some theorems from Euclidean geometry to corresponding theorems in hyperbolic geometry. In this paper we explore the theorems of Stewart and Steiner in the Poincaré disc model of hyperbolic geometry.

Traces, lengths, axes and commensurability

Alan W. Reid (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The focus of this paper are questions related to how various geometric and analytical properties of hyperbolic 3-manifolds determine the commensurability class of such manifolds. The paper is for the large part a survey of recent work.
