Authors: Hans Montanus
The successive actions of the generators S and T of the full modular group SL(2,Z) on the fundamental domain F lead to a tessellation of the upper half-plane H. Each image can be obtained by acting on the fundamental domain with a word consisting of solely S's and T's. For instance STTSTTT(F) is the image when the word STTSTTT acts on F. There is no shorter word that produces the image STTSTTT(F). A recurrence relation will be derived for the number of images for a given minimal word length.
