Abstract

We build an explicit C1 isometric embedding f:ℍ2→𝔼3 of the hyperbolic plane whose image is relatively compact. Its limit set is a closed curve of Hausdorff dimension 1. Given an initial embedding f0, our construction generates iteratively a sequence of maps by adding at each step k a layer of Nk corrugations. To understand the behavior of df_∞ we introduce a formal corrugation process leading to a formal analogue Φ:ℍ2→ L(ℝ2,ℝ3). We show a self-similarity structure for Φ. We next prove that df_∞ is close to Φ up to a precision that depends on the sequence N_*:= (Nk)k. We then introduce the pattern maps \boldsymbolνΦ and \boldsymbolν, of respectively Φ and df_∞, that together with df0 entirely describe the geometry of the Gauss maps associated to Φ and df_∞. For well chosen sequences of corrugation numbers, we finally show an asymptotic convergence of \boldsymbolν towards \boldsymbolνΦ over circles of rational radii.
