The geodesic continued fraction for Shimura curves and its periodicity: the case of the (2, 3, 7)-triangle group
摘要
In this paper we study the geodesic continued fraction in the case of the Shimura curve coming from the (2, 3, 7)-triangle group. We construct a certain continued fraction expansion of real numbers using the so-called coding of the geodesics on the Shimura curve, and prove the Lagrange type periodicity theorem for the expansion which captures the fundamental relative units of quadratic extensions of
