Lambert quadrilateral construction of a cone torus
ID: lambert-quadrilateral-construction-of-a-cone-torus
A Lambert quadrilateral with acute angle and sides incident to the opposite right-angle vertex satisfies the displayed relation. Reflect four copies around that vertex to make a symmetric hyperbolic quadrilateral whose four corner angles are . Identifying opposite sides yields a torus with one cone angle . The two central axis loops have lengths and meet once at right angles. Cutting along one loop gives a pair of pants with two equal geodesic boundaries and the cone point; reglue the boundaries with a Fenchel–Nielsen twist to obtain the two-parameter cone-torus family. Its seven-sheeted torsion-free covers have genus four.
