A fundamental domain for the Fermat curves and their quotients (English)
0 references
Let \(F_N: X^N+ Y^N= 1\) be the Fermat curve of \(N\)th degree, with \(N\geq 4\). In this paper the author obtains a basis for the singular homology group \(H_1(F_N,\mathbb{Z})\) and specifies the intersection product in \(H_1(F_N,\mathbb{Z})\). His method is based on the construction of a fundamental domain for \(F_N\) using basic facts from hyperbolic geometry. Furthermore, the same computations are developed for the quotient curves of the Fermat curves of prime exponent.
