The aim of the course:
To provide a bridge through groups, topology and complex analysis, to build a No-Euclidean Geometry (Hiperbolic Geometry) and to get a combinatorial structure.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : understand the basic spaces, a model for the Hyperbolic plane, the Riemann Sphere and the boundary at infinity of the upper half-plane.4,5,6,71
LO - 2 : understand the group of Möbiüs transformations and transitivity properties, the cross ratio, classification of Möbiüs transformations, a matric representation, reflections, the conformality of elements of Möbiüs, preserving the upper half-plane.4,5,6,71
LO - 3 : understand topological groups,topological transformation groups,coverings,PSL(2,R) group and diskrete subgroups of its.4,5,6,71
LO - 4 : understand hyperbolic length and distance in the upper half-plane, hyperbolic polygons, hyperbolic area and Gauss-Bonnet formula, Fuchsian groups and algebraic properties, fundamental fundamental domains.4,5,6,71
