Jewellery from tessellations of hyperbolic space
Snapshots of modern mathematics from Oberwolfach
Jewellery from tessellations of hyperbolic space
In this snapshot, we will first give an introduction to hyperbolic geometry and we will then show how certain matrix groups of a number-theoretic origin give rise to a large variety of interesting tessellations of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. Many of the building blocks of these tessellations exhibit beautiful symmetry and have inspired the design of 3D printed jewellery.
