  2. Half-space (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-space_(geometry)

    A half-space can be either open or closed. An open half-space is either of the two open sets produced by the subtraction of a hyperplane from the affine space. A closed half-space is the union of an open half-space and the hyperplane that defines it. The open (closed) upper half-space is the half-space of all (x 1, x 2, ..., x n) such that x n > 0

  3. Upper half-plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_half-plane

    ⁠ The lower half-plane is the set of points ⁠ (,) ⁠ with ⁠ < ⁠ instead. Arbitrary oriented half-planes can be obtained via a planar rotation. Half-planes are an example of two-dimensional half-space. A half-plane can be split in two quadrants.

  4. Modular group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_group

    Two points in the upper half-plane give isomorphic elliptic curves if and only if they are related by a transformation in the modular group. Thus, the quotient of the upper half-plane by the action of the modular group is the so-called moduli space of elliptic curves: a space whose points describe isomorphism classes of elliptic curves. This is ...

  5. Fuchsian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsian_group

    In mathematics, a Fuchsian group is a discrete subgroup of PSL(2,R).The group PSL(2,R) can be regarded equivalently as a group of orientation-preserving isometries of the hyperbolic plane, or conformal transformations of the unit disc, or conformal transformations of the upper half plane, so a Fuchsian group can be regarded as a group acting on any of these spaces.

  6. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    In this case, the half planes can be described by a point P of their intersection, and three vectors b 0, b 1 and b 2 such that P + b 0, P + b 1 and P + b 2 belong respectively to the intersection line, the first half plane, and the second half plane. The dihedral angle of these two half planes is defined by

  7. Supporting hyperplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supporting_hyperplane

    Conversely, if is a closed set with nonempty interior such that every point on the boundary has a supporting hyperplane, then is a convex set, and is the intersection of all its supporting closed half-spaces. [2] The hyperplane in the theorem may not be unique, as noticed in the second picture on the right.

  8. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...

  9. Hardy space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy_space

    In complex analysis, the Hardy spaces (or Hardy classes) are spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disk or upper half plane.They were introduced by Frigyes Riesz (), who named them after G. H. Hardy, because of the paper ().
