The distance between two distinct points in the Poincare upper half plane

771 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to derive the distance between two distinct points in hyperbolic space and I'm working on the Poincare upper half plane. So, with the parametrization

$$\sigma(t): x=r\cos(t), y=r\sin(t),\; \alpha\leq t\leq \beta$$

the distance is just

$$\mathrm{dist}((x_{1},y_{1}),(x_{2},y_{2}))=\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}\rho(\sigma(t))|\sigma'(t)|dt=\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}\frac{dt}{\sin(t)}=\ln\left|\frac{\tan\frac{\beta}{2}}{\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}}\right|.$$

We also know that from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincar%C3%A9_half-plane_model that

$$\mathrm{dist}((x_{1},y_{1}),(x_{2},y_{2}))=\mathrm{arccosh}\left(1+\frac{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}{2y_{1}y_{2}}\right).$$

And we know from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincar%C3%A9_metric that

$$\mathrm{dist}((z_{1},z_{2}))=2\mathrm{arctanh}\frac{|z_{1}-z_{2}|}{|z_{1}-\overline{z_{2}}|}=\log\frac{|z_{1}-\overline{z_{2}}|+|z_{1}-z_{2}|}{|z_{1}-\overline{z_{2}}|-|z_{1}-z_{2}|}.$$

Also from Expression of the Hyperbolic Distance in the Upper Half Plane that the last three formulation are equal. Question is I cannot find the equal connection between my calculation and the other three Can anyone help?
