A **Fuchsian group** is a special type of group in the context of hyperbolic geometry, named after the mathematician Richard Fuchs. More specifically, it is a discrete subgroup of the group of orientation-preserving isometries of the hyperbolic plane, which can be represented as the upper half-plane model \(\mathbb{H}^2\).
