Rational Angled Hyperbolic Polygons

چکیده
We prove that every rational angled hyperbolic triangle has transcendental side lengths and that every rational angled hyperbolic quadrilateral has at least one transcendental side length. Thus, there does not exist a rational angled hyperbolic triangle or quadrilateral with algebraic side lengths. We conjecture that there does not exist a rational angled hyperbolic polygon with algebraic side lengths.

A Simple Algorithm for Lattice Point Counting in Rational Polygons
We propose a simple algorithm for lattice point counting in rational polygons. A rational polygon is one whose vertices have rational coordinates. The algorithm decomposes a given polygon into right trapezoids and counts the number of lattice points in the right trapezoids. Each right trapezoid can be dissected into a rectangle and a right-angled triangle in the obvious way. The number of latti...
متن کاملCells and Representations of Right-angled Coxeter Groups
We study Kazhdan-Lusztig cells and corresponding representations of right-angled Coxeter groups and Hecke algebras associated with them. In case of the infinite groups generated by reflections of hyperbolic plane in the sides of right-angled polygons we obtain a complete explicit description of the left and two-sided cells. In particular, it appears that there are infinitely many left cells but...
متن کاملTopological Groups of Kac-moody Type, Fuchsian Twinnings and Their Lattices
— This paper deals with a class of totally disconnected groups acting on buildings, among which are certain Kac-Moody groups. The apartments of our buildings are hyperbolic planes tiled by right-angled polygons. We discuss linearity properties for the groups, as well as an analogy with semisimple groups over local fields of positive characteristic. Looking for counter-examples to this analogy l...
متن کاملBoundaries of Right-angled Hyperbolic Buildings *
We prove that the boundary of a right-angled hyperbolic building is a universal Menger space. Corollary: the 3-dimensional universal Menger space is the boundary of some Gromov-hyperbolic group. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20E42, 54F35, 20F67
متن کاملSurface Subgroups of Right-Angled Artin Groups
We consider the question of which right-angled Artin groups contain closed hyperbolic surface subgroups. It is known that a right-angled Artin group A(K) has such a subgroup if its defining graph K contains an n-hole (i.e. an induced cycle of length n) with n ≥ 5. We construct another eight “forbidden” graphs and show that every graph K on ≤ 8 vertices either contains one of our examples, or co...
