  2. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    In geometry, a hyperboloid of revolution, sometimes called a circular hyperboloid, is the surface generated by rotating a hyperbola around one of its principal axes.A hyperboloid is the surface obtained from a hyperboloid of revolution by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.

  3. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    A triangle immersed in a saddle-shape plane (a hyperbolic paraboloid), along with two diverging ultra-parallel lines. In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai–Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry.

  4. Hyperboloid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_model

    In geometry, the hyperboloid model, also known as the Minkowski model after Hermann Minkowski, is a model of n-dimensional hyperbolic geometry in which points are represented by points on the forward sheet S + of a two-sheeted hyperboloid in (n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space or by the displacement vectors from the origin to those points, and m ...

  5. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    Definition of a ruled surface: every point lies on a line. In geometry, a surface S in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S, there is a straight line that lies on S.

  6. Hyperboloid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_structure

    Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures, such as towers, where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an object high above the ground. Hyperboloid geometry is often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy.

  7. Hyperbolic space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_space

    In mathematics, hyperbolic space of dimension n is the unique simply connected, n-dimensional Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature equal to −1. [1] It is homogeneous, and satisfies the stronger property of being a symmetric space.

  8. Hyperbolic manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_manifold

    In mathematics, a hyperbolic manifold is a space where every point looks locally like hyperbolic space of some dimension. They are especially studied in dimensions 2 and 3, where they are called hyperbolic surfaces and hyperbolic 3-manifolds, respectively.

  9. Pseudosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudosphere

    In differential geometry, this is a Lie transformation. In the corresponding solutions to the sine-Gordon equation, this deformation corresponds to a Lorentz Boost of the static 1-soliton solution. In some sources that use the hyperboloid model of the hyperbolic plane, the hyperboloid is referred to as a pseudosphere. [8]
