About Mobius Transformations

Definition

A Mobius transformation is a complex function of the form f(z) = (az+b)/(cz+d) where ad-bc != 0. They are the only conformal automorphisms of the Riemann sphere.

Applications

  • Conformal mapping in fluid dynamics
  • Hyperbolic geometry
  • Special relativity (Lorentz group)
  • Computer graphics and visualization
