Hyperplanes and motions of dimension-free hyperbolic geometry (Q1034864): Difference between revisions

For Minkowski space \(E^{n,1}\) with Lorenz metric \(L\), we know well how to construct the hyperbolic space \(H^n=\{L(x)=-1\}\). In other words, for a finite dimensional metric space \((X,d)\), we can construct the same object by Lorenz metric \(d\times(-1)\) on \(X\times\mathbb{R}\). In this paper the author points out that for an infinite dimensional metric space \(X\) we can obtain the hyperbolic space of infinite dimension and he states some properties of the hyperbolic structure on the infinite dimensional space. Especially the author considers `rotations' and `parallel transformations along a line' (he calls them \textsl{motions}) and the composite of such transformations. The reviewer hopes that the author inquires into more non-elementary geometric subjects in this article.
