In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition on the integers p and q is established to determine when a tessellation of type {p,q} can be realized as a tessellation of the hyperbolic plane by fundamental domains of some Fuchsian group. Specifically, a tessellation of type {p,q} is a tessellation by fundamental domains if and only if q has a prime divisor less than or equal to p.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-03-10T14:48:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20H10" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic plane", "fundamental domains", "fuchsian group", "regular tessellations", "regular p-gons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.2051Y" } } }
