Conics in the hyperbolic plane intrinsic to the collineation group
Let \((\mathcal P,\mathcal L)\) be any planar point-line geometry and \(\Gamma\) its group of collineations. Assume \(P\in{\mathcal P}\), \(T\in\Gamma\), \(T(P)\not=P\), \(P\vee\,T(P)=:G\), and \(T(G)\not=G\), then the locus of intersections \(\{L\cap\,T(L)\,|\,L\in{\mathcal L}, P\in\,L\}\) is called an \textit{intrinsic conic} of \((\mathcal P,\mathcal L)\). This definition is independent of any embedding of \((\mathcal P,\mathcal L)\) into a larger geometry. The author classifies the intrinsic conics of the plane real hyperbolic geometry \(H\) using the conformal Poincaré disk and complex numbers. There exist seven classes of intrinsic conics in \(H\), for each class the author exhibits a representative. Clearly, each intrinsic conic is a projective conic, yet there are four categories of projective conics which are not intrinsic conics. The computations and considerations are accompanied by 5 illustrative figures.
