Constructing an Analytic Mapping for SL(2;R) using Quadratic Forms

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on constructing the analytic mapping \(\phi(x,y)\) for the \(H^{2+} \times S^1\) representation of \(SL(2;R)\). The user has established that all points in \(SL(2;R)\) lie on the manifold \(H^{2+} \times S^1\) and has identified the quadratic form \(z^2 - x^2 - y^2 = 1\) in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). The user calculated the 3x3 matrix \(H\) for this quadratic form, which has a diagonal of \([-1, -1, 1]\). The primary challenge is to parameterize the matrix \(H\) in terms of \(x\) and \(y\) to facilitate the mapping \(\phi\).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of \(SL(2;R)\) and its geometric representation
  • Knowledge of quadratic forms and their matrix representations
  • Familiarity with the manifold \(H^{2+} \times S^1\)
  • Basic concepts of analytic mappings in mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to parameterize quadratic forms in multiple variables

  • Explore the relationship between rotation matrices and analytic mappings
  • Investigate the differences between real analytic and complex analytic mappings
USEFUL FOR

Homework Statement


Construct the analytic mapping [tex]\phi(x,y)[/tex] for the [tex]H^{2+} \times S^1[/tex] representation of [tex]SL(2;R)[/tex]


Homework Equations


[tex]g(x) \circ g(y) = g(\phi(x,y))[/tex]


The Attempt at a Solution


So, all points in SL(2;R) lie on the manifold [tex]H^{2+} \times S^1[/tex]. I also know that SL(2;R) is 3 dimensional, so I will parametrize it as x=[x y [tex]\theta[/tex]].

For a point to lie on [tex]H^{2+}[/tex] it has to satisfy the quadratic form [tex]z^2 -x^2 -y^2=1[/tex] in [tex]R^3[/tex]. I calculated the 3x3 matrix, H, for this quadratic form, which has diagonal [-1 -1 1] and zeros everywhere else.

My goal is to calculate the matrix rep for [tex]g(x) \in SL(2;R)[/tex] by multiplying H and the rotation matrix for [tex]S^1[/tex] which is well known, and then using this information end up solving for [tex]\phi[/tex]

My problem is that H, my matrix for the quadratic form, is not paramaterized by x and y, its elements are just constants. How do I find a quadratic form for [tex]H^2[/tex] that is paramaterized by x and y?

The mapping [itex]\phi[/itex] is supposed to be from where to where? Real analytic or complex analytic?
