Let H={x+iy∈C:y>0}, and let H have the hyperbolic metric ρ derived from the line element ∣dz∣/y. Let Γ be the group of Möbius maps of the form z↦(az+b)/(cz+d), where a,b,c and d are real and ad−bc=1. Show that every g in Γ is an isometry of the metric space (H,ρ). For z and w in H, let
h(z,w)=Im(z)Im(w)∣z−w∣2
Show that for every g in Γ,h(g(z),g(w))=h(z,w). By considering z=iy, where y>1, and w=i, or otherwise, show that for all z and w in H,
coshρ(z,w)=1+2Im(z)Im(w)∣z−w∣2
By considering points i,iy, where y>1 and s+it, where s2+t2=1, or otherwise, derive Pythagoras' Theorem for hyperbolic geometry in the form coshacoshb=coshc, where a,b and c are the lengths of sides of a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse has length c.
