Let be the upper-half plane with hyperbolic metric . Define the group , and show that it acts by isometries on . [If you use a generation statement you must carefully state it.]
(a) Prove that acts transitively on the collection of pairs , where is a hyperbolic line in and .
(b) Let be the imaginary half-axis. Find the isometries of which fix pointwise. Hence or otherwise find all isometries of .
(c) Describe without proof the collection of all hyperbolic lines which meet with (signed) angle . Explain why there exists a hyperbolic triangle with angles and whenever .
(d) Is this triangle unique up to isometry? Justify your answer. [You may use without proof the fact that Möbius maps preserve angles.]
