A note on the distinct distances problem in the hyperbolic plane

Zhipeng Lu and Xianchang Meng

Vol. 327 (2023), No. 1, 129–137
Abstract

We provide a proof of a Guth–Katz-type lower bound for the distinct distances problem in the hyperbolic plane. Our construction follows the framework of Guth and Katz to deal with PSL2(R) and the corresponding incidence structure in projective geometry. In addition, we deduce a new sum-product estimate in the form of a hyperbolic metric formula based on this lower bound.
