This paper deals with the discrete groups of rigid motions of the hyperbolic plane. It is known (12) that the finitely generated, orientation-preserving groups have the following presentations:Generators: .Defining relations: where km = ambmam-1bm-1. We shall denote this group by F(p; n1, … , nd; r).In particular, the finitely generated free groups are contained among these. Indeed, one purpose of this paper is to indicate some geometrical methods for investigating free groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
