Universal q-gonal tessellations and their Petrie paths
Universal q-gonal tessellations and their Petrie paths
In [Sin88] the second author showed that the Farey map F is a model of the universal triangular tessellation. This is a tessellation that covers every other triangular tessellation on an orientable surface. More precisely, the automorphism group of F is the classical modular group Γ = PSL(2, Z) and every triangular map is the quotient of F by a subgroup of Γ. The aim of this paper is to describe universal q-gonal tessellations. Here the modular group will be replaced by Hecke groups. In [SS16] it was shown that the Petrie paths of the Farey map pass through vertices whose numerators and denominators are Fibonacci numbers. In section 8 we consider Hecke-Fibonacci sequences which arise out of universal q-gonal tessellations.

Abstract
In [Sin88] the second author showed that the Farey map F is a model of the universal triangular tessellation. This is a tessellation that covers every other triangular tessellation on an orientable surface. More precisely, the automorphism group of F is the classical modular group Γ = PSL(2, Z) and every triangular map is the quotient of F by a subgroup of Γ. The aim of this paper is to describe universal q-gonal tessellations. Here the modular group will be replaced by Hecke groups. In [SS16] it was shown that the Petrie paths of the Farey map pass through vertices whose numerators and denominators are Fibonacci numbers. In section 8 we consider Hecke-Fibonacci sequences which arise out of universal q-gonal tessellations.
