Help me to remember $\operatorname{cosh}^{2}(y) -\operatorname{sinh}^{2}(y)=1$, some easy verification and deduction?
I can faintly visualize some way of deducing this formula with exponential functions but forgot it. How do you remember it? Suppose you just forget whether it is plus-or-minus there, how do you find ...

Riemann surface with punctures corresponds to a hyperbolic surface with cusps
I am reading a paper on Riemann surfaces and the author used the fact that
$\{$Riemann surfaces with
genus $g$ and $n$ punctures$\}$
is in one-to-one correspondence with
$\{$ hyperbolic surfaces ...

Hyperbolic area and $SL_2$
Given that $\mu(A) := \iint_{A}\frac{\mathrm dx\mathrm dy}{y^2}$ where $A \subset H$ and $H$ is the upper half-plane, I need to show that:
a. The measure $\mu$ is invariant under all $g \in ...

Gromov boundary — TFAE
I am a newcomer to hyperbolic geometry and was trying to understand some of it in the context of dynamics, for reading certain literature.
Let a discrete subgroup $G$ of $SL_2(\mathbb R)$ act on the ...

A book to study about hyperbolic plane, hyperbolic translations, etc.
In this paper, page $6$, the authors state the following:
The translations of the hyperbolic plane are defined as products of
two central symmetries; the set of hyperbolic translations forms a

Fréchet mean of the hyperbolic shape space
The Fréchet mean of a general subspace is defined as
$$F(x)=\int_Mdist(x,y)^2d\mu(y),$$
where $\mu$ is the probability measure on a general metric space $(M,dist)$.
I understand that the Fréchet mean ...
