Parabolic isometry of the hyperbolic plane
ID: parabolic-isometry-of-the-hyperbolic-plane
A nonidentity orientation-preserving isometry of the hyperbolic plane is parabolic when it has one fixed point on the ideal boundary and none in the plane. In the upper half-plane model, every parabolic isometry is conjugate to a nonzero horizontal translation.
