Focus of an infinitesimal cycle is mapped by SL(2,R) to the (almost) focus of image¶
Exercise I.7.29 [1] $ \newcommand{\scalar}[3][]{\left\langle #2,#3 \right\rangle_{#1}} \newcommand{\Space}[3][]{\mathbb{#2}^{#3}_{#1}} \newcommand{\Space}[3][]{\mathbb{#2}^{#3}_{#1}} \newcommand{\cycle}[3][]{{#1 C^{#2}_{#3}}} \newcommand{\realline}[3][]{#1 R^{#2}_{#3}} \newcommand{\bs}{\breve{\sigma}} \newcommand{\zcycle}[3][]{#1 Z^{#2}_{#3}} \newcommand{\SL}[1][2]{\mathrm{SL}_{#1}(\Space{R}{})} \newcommand{\rs}{\sigma_r} \newcommand{\lvec}[1]{\overrightarrow{#1}} \newcommand{\rmi}{\mathrm{i}} \newcommand{\alli}{\iota} \newcommand{\rme}{\mathrm{e}} \newcommand{\rmd}{\mathrm{d}} \newcommand{\rmh}{\mathrm{j}} \newcommand{\rmp}{\varepsilon} \newcommand{\modulus}[2][]{\left| #2 \right|_{#1}} $ Let $\cycle[\breve]{s}{\bs}$ be the image under $g\in\SL$ of an infinitesimal cycle $\cycle{s}{\bs}$. Then, the $\rs$-focus of $\cycle[\breve]{s}{\bs}$ is displaced from $g(u_0,v_0)$ by infinitesimals of order $\epsilon^2$, while both cycles have $\bs$-radius of order $\epsilon$.
Consequently, $\SL$-action is infinitesimally-conformal with respect to the length from the focus for all combinations of $\sigma$, $\bs$ and $\rs$.
Solution. We define few relations which will be used for algebraic simplification later.
from init_cycle import *
sign_cube = {pow(sign, 3) : sign}
sign1_cube = {pow(sign1, 3) : sign1}
vp=possymbol("vp")
sl2_relation = {c*b : a*d-1}
sl2_relation1 = {a : (1+b*c)/d}
Here is a routine which will verify two statements from the Exercise.
def infinitesimal_trans(nval):
C10 = cycle2D(1, [u, n], pow(u,2)-pow(n,2)*sign1+pow(epsilon,2), e).subs(nval)
C11=cycle2D(C10.sl2_similarity(a, b, c, d, et))
display(Latex("Checking infinitesimal cycle: $%s$" % C10.string()))
gP=clifford_moebius_map(sl2_clifford(a, b, c, d, et), matrix([[u],[vp]]), et)\
.subs(sl2_relation1,subs_options.algebraic).normal()
displ = (C11.focus(er, True).subs(nval) - gP).evalm()
return Latex("Focus of the transormed cycle is displaced from transformation of focus by: $%s$" %\
displ.subs(sl2_relation, subs_options.algebraic)\
.subs({sign : 0,sign3 : 0,a : (1+b*c)/d}).series(relational(epsilon, 0, eq), 2).normal())
Checking for the first type of infinitesimal cycle
infinitesimal_trans({n : (vp-(pow(pow(vp,2)-pow(epsilon,2)*(sign2-sign1),half)))/(sign2-sign1)})
The parabolic focus infinitesimal cycle
