    B Axes on a hyperbolic plane

    Alright, I've been wondering this for a while now. Say you have an infinite grid of squares in hyperbolic geometry, such that the curvature makes it so each angle of each square is 72° (5 squares at each corner). At the very 'center' of the grid, or the origin, there would be 5 straight rays...

    I Do hyperbolic harmonics exist?

    With the algebra so(3) are associated the spherical harmonics. I would assume that comparably with the algebra so(2,1) are associated functions that can be addressed as hyperbolic harmonics. But I nowhere found any reference to them. Do they exist and if so, where can they be found? Thank you...
