Notation: Throughout, H denotes the upper half-plane, ∂H denotes the boundary of H, D denotes the Poincar´e disc, and ∂D denotes the boundary of D. We also write M¨ob(H) for the group of all M¨obius transformations of H and M¨ob(D) for the group of all M¨obius transformations of D.
You may use the fact that if 0 < a < b then dH(ia, ib) = log b/a. (Here and throughout this exam, log denotes the natural logarithm.)
You may also use the fact that for any z, w ∈ H we have the formula

(i) Let

What does it mean to say that γ is normalised?
How is τ (γ) defined?
[4 marks]
(ii) Consider the following two statements:
(a) τ (γ−1) = τ (γ) for all γ ∈ M¨ob(H).
(b) τ (γ1γ2) = τ (γ1)τ (γ2) for all γ1, γ2 ∈ M¨ob(H).
In each case, decide whether the statement is true or false. If the statement is true then give a proof; if the statement is false then give a counterexample.

(i) Consider the hyperbolic triangles illustrated in Figure 1. In (a), an arbitrary hyperbolic triangle with one ideal vertex and one right-angle is drawn. In (b) a hyperbolic triangle with one ideal vertex at ∞ and one right-angle at i is drawn. The other internal angle in both (a) and (b) is θ and the side with finite hyperbolic length has length a.
The Angle of Parallelism formula states that for a triangle such as in Figure 1(a) we have
Explain briefly why, when proving (2), we can assume without loss of generality that the triangle is as illustrated in Figure 1(b).
Explain why, for the point s + it in Figure 1(b), we have s 2 + t 2 = 1.

Let Γ ⊂ M¨ob(H) be a Fuchsian group. Let p ∈ H be such that γ(p) ≠ p for all γ ∈ Γ \ {id}. Recall that the Dirichlet polygon D(p) is defined as follows:

• Let Hp(γ) denote the half-plane determined by Lp(γ) that contains p.
• Let D(p) = ∩γ∈Γ\{id} Hp(γ).
