The image of the mosaic to the right shows three geodesics. The lighter semi-circles at the bottom create 2 geodesics, and the dark semi-circle in the background creates the third geodesic. Geodesics measure shortest distance and play the role of straight lines in Euclidean geometry, hence these three geodesics form an ideal triangle. There are several other models that can be used to represent hyperbolic space.
The Pseudosphere is a model that accurately shows how hyperbolic space curves, but only models a portion of the whole space. The Beltrami-Klein model represents hyperbolic space as the interior of a disk, just as the Poincare disk model, but it chooses to distort angles rather than geodesics. So the geodesics actually appear as straight lines, but the angles between them are no longer correctly shown.
Plenty of other models exist, just like there are many ways to make maps of the spherical geometry of the Earth, but the Poincare disk model is the one that Escher uses exclusively. A triangle in hyperbolic geometry is a polygon with three sides, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, and so on, as in Euclidean geometry. Here are some triangles in hyperbolic space:. By cutting other polygons into triangles, we see that a hyperbolic polygon has angle sum less than that of the corresponding Euclidean polygon.
The defect of a polygon is the difference between its angle sum and the angle sum for a Euclidean polygon with the same number of sides. This statement works in spherical and hyperbolic geometry, for polygons with any number of sides. The area of a hyperbolic polygon is still proportional to its defect:.
This equality is a special case of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. In spherical geometry, we had a formula relating the defect of a polygon to the fraction of the sphere's area covered by the polygon. The three geodesics are called the sides of the ideal triangle. However, the do get closer together as they head towards the edge. The three points on the boundary are called the ideal vertices of the ideal triangle, and play a similar role as the vertices of an ordinary triangle. Hyperbolic Tessellations Exploration.
A hyperbolic tessellation is a covering of hyperbolic space by tiles, with no overlapping tiles and no gaps. Like his other tessellations, Escher began with a geometric tessellation by polygons and worked from there. The spines of the fish, emphasized with red lines, form a tessellation of hyperbolic space by quadrilaterals. They are not regular polygons because regular polygons have all sides and all angles equal.
There are plenty of other tessellations of hyperbolic space, including regular tessellations. In fact, there are infinitely many regular tessellations of hyperbolic space. This stands in sharp contrast to Euclidean space, which has only three, and to spherical geometry, where there are only five non-degenerate possibilities corresponding to the Platonic solids.
Hyperbolic space is easy to tessellate because the corner angles of polygons want to be small, and small angles fit nicely around a vertex. As in the other two geometries, we describe regular tessellations by the number of sides in each polygon and the number of polygons that meet at a vertex. It is also his most subtle. Looking at the white spines of the fish, it appears to be a tessellation of hyperbolic space by triangles and squares, with three triangles and three squares coming together at each vertex.
Even Escher does not seem to have realized this, although most probably he would not have cared, as he was very satisfied with the print and the suggestion of infinity it presents. The image on the right shows a hyperbolic geodesic that runs through the midpoints of the sides of the octagons, surrounded by two curves not geodesics at a fixed distance from the geodesic. Drawing hyperbolic tessellations by hand is quite difficult.
However, tessellations by ideal polygons are somewhat easier to work with. However, they do fit into the scheme of regular tessellations, with the odd feature that infinitely many tiles now meet at an ideal vertex.
