Riemannian metric on SL(2,R)- explicit formula

Riemannian metric is usually expressed through its metric tensor. For instance in Conformally Euclidean geometry of the upper half-plane we were discussing the SL(2,R) invariant Riemannian metric on the upper half-plane and came out with the formula: (1)   Riemannian … Continue reading

Parametrization of SL(2,R)

We are going to discuss Riemannian metric on SL(2,R), which will be more difficult than Riemannian metric on the Poincare disk or on the upper half-plane , because SL(2,R) is three-dimensional. In fact it will be a pseudo-Riemannian metric, because … Continue reading

Dedekind tessellation or circles all the way down

“Turtles all the way down” is an expression of the infinite regress problem in cosmology posed by the “unmoved mover” paradox. The metaphor in the anecdote represents a popular notion of the model that Earth is actually flat and is … Continue reading
