Horocycle — A blue horocycle in the Poincaré disk model and some red normals. The normals converge asymptotically to the upper central point. In hyperbolic geometry, a horocycle (Greek: όριο + κύκλος border + circle) is a curve whose normals all converge… … Wikipedia

Ergodic theory — is a branch of mathematics that studies dynamical systems with an invariant measure and related problems. Its initial development was motivated by problems of statistical physics. A central concern of ergodic theory is the behavior of a dynamical … Wikipedia
Ford circle — In mathematics, a Ford circle is a circle with centre at ( p/q , 1/(2 q 2)) and radius 1/(2 q 2), where p/q is an irreducible fraction, i.e. p and q are coprime integers.HistoryFord circles are named after American mathematician Lester R. Ford,… … Wikipedia

Hypercycle (geometry) — In hyperbolic geometry, a hypercycle, hypercircle or equidistant curve is a curve whose points have the same orthogonal distance from a given straight line.Given a straight line L and a point P not on L, we can construct a hypercycle by taking… … Wikipedia
Horoball — In mathematics, particularly hyperbolic geometry, a horoball is a specific kind of n dimensional object in hyperbolic n space. Consider the upper half space model of hyperbolic space. Then a horosphere is given by a horizontal plane, and the… … Wikipedia
