  Cabinet Magazine Online - Crocheting the Hyperbolic Plane: An Interview with David Henderson and Daina Taimina
The discovery of hyperbolic space in the 1820s and 1830s by the Hungarian mathematician Janos Bolyai and the Russian mathematician Nicholay Lobatchevsky marked a turning point in mathematics and initiated the formal field of non-Euclidean geometry.
A hyperbolic plane is a surface in which the space curves away from itself at every point.
DH: The discovery of the hyperbolic plane came from the attempt to prove Euclid's fifth postulate, which is also known as the parallel postulate.

We discuss and illustrate tilings of the hyperbolic plane here, but the concepts apply to the sphere and euclidean plane with almost no adjustment, and the underlying theory generalises to higher-dimensional spaces.
The dual of our example hyperbolic tiling by hexagons and squares is therefore a tiling by squares which have two distinct vertices, one of degree 6, and the other of degree 4.

 Crafty Geometry: Science News Online, Dec. 23, 2006
One mathematician's crocheted models of a counterintuitive shape called a hyperbolic plane are enabling her students and fellow mathematicians to gain new insight into startling properties.
Taimina realized that she could crochet a durable model of the hyperbolic plane using a simple rule: Increase the number of stitches in each row by a fixed factor, by adding a new stitch after, for instance, every two (or three or four or n) stitches.
In addition to Taimina's hyperbolic planes and a Lorenz surface crocheted by Yackel, the exhibit featured Möbius strips, which are twisted rings that have only one side, and Klein bottles, which are closed surfaces that have no inside.

 Semi-Regular Tilings of the Plane Part 1: Introduction and Historical Background
The hyperbolic plane is amenable to an infinite number of different tilings by regular polygons.
A similar illustration of triangulated regular hyperbolic hexagons meeting four at vertex (see the cover of [G]) was the inspiration for M.
Hyperbolic Results describe some relatively simple geometric processes that allow one to construct several such tilings.

 Jessica Purcell: Research
The combinatorial argument further implies that every link with at least 2 twist regions and at least 6 crossings per twist region is hyperbolic and gives a lower bound for the genus of a link.
Specifically, there is a universal constant C such that if a knot or link admits a prime, twist reduced diagram with at least 2 twist regions and at least C crossings per twist region, then the link complement is hyperbolic with volume bounded below by 3.3515 times the number of twist regions in the diagram.
For every knot or link with hyperbolic complement, each cusp of the complement has a geometric shape given by the Euclidean similarity class of structures on horoball neighborhoods of the cusp.

 Link (knot theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
More formally, a link is a subspace of 3-dimensional Euclidean space (or often the 3-sphere) whose connected components are homeomorphic to circles.
Links and knots are studied in a branch of mathematics called knot theory.
The simplest nontrivial example of a link with more than one component is called the Hopf link, which consists of two circles (or unknots) linked together once.

In his paper, Marc Lackenby proves that the volume of the complement of a hyperbolic alternating link is bounded above and below by linear functions of the twist number, the number of non-parallel crossings.
In the appendix, Ian Agol and I improve the upper bound and show that it is asymptotically sharp by constructing an explicit chain-link fence link.
We show that there are finite type link homotopy invariants for links with 9 or more components, but none for links with 5 or fewer components.

We use the diagram of a link K to obtain a Dehn surgery description of K from a hyperbolic link L.
When K is an arborescent link, we use the correspondence between the link and a weighted tree to simplify the projection diagram into a particularly nice form.
The combinatorial argument also proves that every link with at least 2 twist regions and at least 6 crossings per twist region is hyperbolic and gives a lower bound for the genus of a link..

 Hyperbolic Geometry - Triangles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Poincare half-plane model is conformal, which means that hyperbolic angles in the Poincare half-plane model are exactly the same as the Euclidean angles (with the angles between two intersecting circles being the angle between their tangent lines at the point of intersection.
A hyperbolic triangle is just three points connected by (hyperbolic) line segments.
Since the hyperbolic line segments are (usually) curved, the angles of a hyperbolic triangle add up to strictly less than 180 degrees.

 A new twist on pong... - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Edit: For those unaware of the unique nature of hyperbolic geometry, this website I found a while ago has lots of nice Java applets to help visualization of what pong might be like in such a space.
In the case of the hyperbolic disk, the ball would move straight wihtin the system, but when you try to visualize it to the player, it would have curved movements on the screen.
If you think about it, hyperbolic pong would probably play out a lot like the bounding circle was gravitationally attracting the ball.

 Atlas: More hyperbolic link complements in the 4-sphere by Dubravko Ivansic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Many noncompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds are known to be complements of links in the 3-sphere.
Generalizing to dimension 4, an example of a hyperbolic 4-manifold that is a complement of 5 tori in the 4-sphere was previously obtained by the speaker.
We enrich the catalog of examples of hyperbolic ``link'' complements in the 4-sphere by showing that other Ratcliffe-Tschantz manifolds (about 10 so far) also have double covers that are complements either of several tori or a combination of several tori and Klein bottles.

 Alternating knot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In knot theory, a link diagram is alternating if the crossings alternate under, over, under, over, as you travel along each component of the link.
Alternating links end up having an important role in knot theory and 3-manifold theory, due to their complements having useful and interesting geometric and topological properties.
the link complement has a hyperbolic geometry, unless the link is a torus link.

Kashaev's Conjecture and the Chern-Simons Invariants of Knots and Links, Hitoshi Murakami, Jun Murakami, Miyuki Okamoto, Toshie Takata, Yoshiyuki Yokota
Kashaev conjectured that the asymptotic behavior of the link invariant he introduced, which equals the colored Jones polynomial evaluated at a root of unity, determines the hyperbolic volume of any hyperbolic link complement.
We observe numerically that for knots {\small $6_3$, $8_9$ and $8_{20}$} and for the Whitehead link, the colored Jones polynomials are related to the hyperbolic volumes and the Chern--Simons invariants and propose a complexification of Kashaev's conjecture.

 Smith's Navier-Stokes
Smith's proposed solution to the Millenium Problem on the Navier-Stokes equation is a culmination of many years of work on a new technique she developed to prove the existence of viscosity solutions for a larger class of partial differential equations than they had been applied to in the past.
The comparison principles then allow Smith to approach hyperbolic equations by adapting Perron's Method, a method used in the past to create viscosity solutions to elliptic and parabolic equations.
It is seen to be a second order hyperbolic equation for the metric when one uses gauge harmonic coordinates.

If a hyperbolic link has a prime alternating diagram $D$, then we show that the link complement's volume can be estimated directly from $D$.
We define a very elementary invariant of the diagram $D$, its twist number $t(D)$, and show that the volume lies between $v_3(t(D) - 2)/2$ and $v_3(10t(D) - 10)$, where $v_3$ is the volume of a regular hyperbolic ideal 3-simplex.
As a consequence, the set of all hyperbolic alternating and augmented alternating link complements is a closed subset of the space of all complete finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds, in the geometric topology.
