Regular {p,q} tilings via Fuchsian group Möbius transformations
Tiles drawn: 0
The Poincaré disk model: hyperbolic straight lines are circular arcs meeting the boundary at right angles.
A {p,q} tiling has p-gons meeting q at each vertex; requires (p-2)(q-2)>4 for hyperbolic geometry.
Generated by a Fuchsian group — a discrete subgroup of PSL(2,ℝ) acting by Möbius transformations
z↦(az+b)/(c̄z+ā) with |a|²−|b|²=1. Colors encode generation depth.
