The disc coordinate centred at a point of the upper half-plane #
For z ∈ ℍ, the Cayley transform τ ↦ (τ - z) / (τ - conj z) is a bijection from the upper
half-plane onto the open unit disc sending z to 0, with inverse
w ↦ (z - conj z * w) / (1 - w); its modulus is tanh (d / 2) for the
hyperbolic distance d to z. In this coordinate every matrix of positive determinant fixing
z is a rotation of the disc about 0: if g • z = z, then
discCoordinate z (g • τ) = conj (denom g z) / denom g z * discCoordinate z τ.
This is the local linearizing coordinate at a point with nontrivial stabilizer: the multiplier
conj (denom g z) / denom g z is a complex number of modulus one, and it is exactly the
derivative Matrix.ProjectiveSpecialLinearGroup.smulDeriv of τ ↦ g • τ at its fixed
point z.
Because the modulus of the disc coordinate is tanh of half the hyperbolic distance to z, the
hyperbolic discs about z are precisely the preimages of the Euclidean discs about 0.

The disc coordinate centred at z: the Cayley transform τ ↦ (τ - z) / (τ - conj z), which
maps the upper half-plane injectively into the unit disc and sends z to 0.

The denominator of the disc coordinate does not vanish: conj z lies in the lower
half-plane.
The disc coordinate centred at z vanishes exactly at its centre z.
The disc coordinate centred at any point is injective on the upper half-plane.
The modulus of the disc coordinate centred at z is tanh (d / 2), where d is the
hyperbolic distance to z.
The disc coordinate takes values in the open unit disc.
The disc coordinate centred at z is continuous.
The disc coordinate centred at z is holomorphic.
The explicit inverse of the disc coordinate is holomorphic on the open unit disc.
The disc coordinate centred at z as a homeomorphism between the upper half-plane and the
open unit disc 𝔻, with inverse w ↦ (z - conj z * w) / (1 - w). Both directions are
holomorphic, by UpperHalfPlane.mdifferentiable_discCoordinate and
UpperHalfPlane.analyticOnNhd_discCoordinateHomeomorph_symm.

Instances For
The disc coordinate recovers the point of the unit disc it came from.
The range of the disc coordinate centred at any point is the open unit disc.
A point lies in the hyperbolic disc of radius ε about z exactly when its disc coordinate
has modulus less than tanh (ε / 2).
The disc coordinate carries hyperbolic discs to Euclidean discs: the hyperbolic disc of
radius ε about z is mapped onto the Euclidean disc of radius tanh (ε / 2) about 0.
A matrix of positive determinant fixing z is a rotation in the disc coordinate centred
at z, by the unimodular multiplier conj (denom g z) / denom g z.
Positive determinant is what makes the Möbius transformation holomorphic; the determinant
itself cancels, since it scales the displacements from z and from conj z alike.
