| Aug 31, 2012 at 16:25 | comment | added | Will Sawin | There are infinitely many diffeomorphisms from the Euclidean plane to an open subset of the hyperbolic plane. You'd want to find a diffeomorphism with some nice property, to distinguish it from this enormous family. An obvious choice is to find a conformal mapping, but by Liouville's theorem there is none. Why do you want such a map? Is there any property you would like it to have? | |
