The hyperbolic geometry of Markov’s theorem on Diophantine approximation and quadratic forms
Markov’s theorem classifies the worst irrational numbers with respect to rational approximation and the indefinite binary quadratic forms whose values for integer arguments stay farthest away from zero. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new proof of Markov’s theorem using hyperbolic geometry. The main ingredients are …
