I know that parallel axiom in Hyperbolic geometry is that there at least two parallel lines to line $a$ through a given point $A$. But as I know it can be proven that there are infinitely many of them, what is the proof ?

Suppose you have the two lines through $A$, that converge on the two ends of $a$.

A point $B$ that lies between these convergent lines, will create a line $AB$, that crosses the two convergent lines at $A$, and so will always be opposite one of the convergent lines to $a$. Thus it never crosses $a$.

  • I don't know this terminology, so sorry for the additional questions, but what convergent line means in hyperbolic geometry ? – Юрій Ярош Apr 07 '18 at 10:51
  • When they say there are two parallels, these are the ones that meet at infinity, such at the edge of a Poincare disk. These two cross at A, and make an X-shape. If the line a is at the bottom of the X, and B is placed in the left or right side of the X, the line AB will pass from the left-side into the right side. – wendy.krieger Apr 07 '18 at 10:58
  • The underlying idea here is that the hyperbolic plane is still orientable, and the line $AB$ can not cross $a$ because it's above the two lines that meet at infinity. – wendy.krieger Apr 07 '18 at 10:59
  • How you can prove that line AB won't go out the X shape ? – Юрій Ярош Apr 07 '18 at 11:00
  • Suppose the line $a$ has the ends at $L$ and $R$. Then the lines through $A$ run $AL$ and $AR$. If $B$ is in the X-shape, on the right hand side, a line to the left of $AB$ crosses $BR$, $BA$, $BL$ and $a$ in that order, because $AB$ crosses $BL$ at $B$ only. On the right hand side, the order is $BL$, $BA$, $BR$ and $a$, meaning that $BA$ never crosses $BR$ and thus can not approach $a$. Therefore $AB$ never crosses $a$. – wendy.krieger Apr 07 '18 at 11:11
  • Sorry but what is the "end of a line" ? Line doesn't have ends as far as I know. – Юрій Ярош Apr 07 '18 at 16:06
