Bases: object

A class for calculating Farey symbols of arithmetics subgroups of \(\PSL_2(\ZZ)\).

The arithmetic subgroup can be either any of the congruence subgroups implemented in Sage, i.e. Gamma, Gamma0, Gamma1 and GammaH or a subgroup of \(\PSL_2(\ZZ)\) which is given by a user written helper class defining membership in that group.

INPUT:

  • \(G\) - an arithmetic subgroup of \(\PSL_2(\ZZ)\)

EXAMPLES:

Plot a fundamental domain of an arithmetic subgroup of \(\PSL_2(\ZZ)\) corresponding to the Farey symbol.

OPTIONS:

  • fill – boolean (default True) fill the fundamental domain

  • linestyle – string (default: ‘solid’) The style of the line, which is one of ‘dashed’, ‘dotted’, ‘solid’, ‘dashdot’, or ‘–‘, ‘:’, ‘-’, ‘-.’, respectively

  • color – (default: ‘lightgray’) fill color; fill color for odd part of Dedekind tesselation.

  • show_pairing – boolean (default: True) flag for pairing

  • tesselation – (default: ‘Dedekind’) The type of hyperbolic tesselation which is one of ‘coset’, ‘Dedekind’ or None respectively

word_problem(M, output='standard', check=True)#

Solve the word problem (up to sign) using this Farey symbol.

  • output – (default: 'standard') Should be one of 'standard', 'syllables', 'gens'.

  • check – (default: True) Whether to check for correct input and output.

OUTPUT:

A solution to the word problem for the matrix \(M\). The format depends on the output parameter, as follows.

  • standard returns the so called the Tietze representation, consists of a tuple of nonzero integers \(i\), where if \(i\) > 0 then it indicates the \(i`th generator (that is, ``self.generators()[0]`\) would correspond to \(i\) = 1), and if \(i\) < 0 then it indicates the inverse of the \(i\)-th generator.

  • syllables returns a tuple of tuples of the form \((i,n)\), where \((i,n)\) represents self.generators()[i] ^ n, whose product equals \(M\) up to sign.

  • gens returns tuple of tuples of the form \((g,n)\), \((g,n)\) such that the product of the matrices \(g^n\) equals \(M\) up to sign.
