Cusp Neighborhood

In mathematics, a cusp neighborhood is defined as a set of points near a cusp.

Cusp neighborhood for a Riemann surface

The cusp neighborhood for a hyperbolic Riemann surface can be defined in terms of its Fuchsian model.
   
Suppose that the Fuchsian group G contains a parabolic element g. For example, the element T \in SL(2,\mathbb{Z}) where
T(z)=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}:z =
\frac{1\cdot z+1}{0 \cdot z + 1} = z+1 is a parabolic element. Then the set
U=\{ z \in \mathbb{H} : \Im z > 1 \}
where \mathbb{H} is the upper half-plane has
\gamma(U) \cap U = \emptyset
for any \gamma \in G - \langle g \rangle where \langle g \rangle is understood to mean the group generated by g. Because of this, it can be seen that the projection of U onto H/G is thus
E = U/ \langle g \rangle.
Here, E is called the neighborhood of the cusp corresponding to g. Note that the hyperbolic area of E is exactly 1, when computed using the canonical Poincar metric. This is most easily seen by example: consider the intersection of U defined above with the fundamental domain
\left\{ z \in H: \left| z \right| > 1,\, \left| \,\mbox{Re}(z) \,\right| < \frac{1}{2} \right\}
of the modular group, as would be appropriate for the choice of T as the parabolic element. When integrated over the volume element
d\mu=\frac{dxdy}{y^2}
the result is trivially 1.
