Ruler and Compass in the Hyperbolic Plane

395 Views Asked by At

I've been studying Ring Theory, and there is a marvellous chapter about Constructible Numbers and Euclidean Geometry (LEQUAIN, Y et al. Elementos de Álgebra) and I began wondering: What about the Hyperbolic Geometry?

I studied the Hyperbolic Plane in three ways: Without models, Half-Plane Poincaré Model and Disk Poincaré Model. But I'm not sure about this question: What are the analogue in the hyperbolic plane for euclidean non-graduated ruler and compass that can make the Constructible Numbers?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

A length $t$ in the hyperbolic plane can be constructed if and only if $\sinh t$ is a length that can be constructed in the Euclidean plane. The constructible angles in the hyperbolic plane are exactly the same as those in the Euclidean plane.
