An art piece by Henry Segerman and myself titled Hyperbolic Catacombs is now part of an AMS mathematical imagery album!

We originally submitted it to the 2015 JMM art exhibition, and you can see that full exhibition here:

The AMS announces two new albums on Mathematical Imagery: Selected works from the 2015 Mathematical Art Exhibition, a collection of stunning works made with paper, wood, crochet, lace, ceramics, beads, plastic and software (http://bit.ly/1GI7NrO), and Vizzie Winners, award-winning mathematical images in the National Science Foundation and Popular Science Visualization Challenge (http://bit.ly/1GI7M7m).

    I like the Wood Between the Worlds feel to this -- and I'd really like to see a movie of this, with the red and white shapes changing color as one were moving around in these catacombs.

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations The Hopf Fibration of S^3 is amazing and beautiful.  Rather than describe it here, I'll point you to a lovely online reference with pictures and videos by Niles Johnson. nilesjohnson.net/hopf.html To understand it better (and fibrations in general), I recommend this talk by Niles too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us It turns out there is an analogue of the Hopf fibration for H^3.  In fact, there is not just one "fiberwise homogenous" fibration in the hyperbolic case.  There is a 2-parameter family of them, plus one additional fibration that does not fit the family.  As with S^3, fibers in the H^3 cases are geodesics.  They are ultraparallel in fibrations from the family, and parallel in the exceptional fibration.  I found the following dissertation by Haggai Nuchi a good intro and resource to help think about all this. www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/NuchiThesis.pdf I'm posting three early pictures of H^3 fibrations below, labeled
