    Lobachevsky's hyperbolic geometry (also studied by János Bolyai) shows up throughout physics, especially in relativity.

    The Poincaré models described above are relevant for the AdS/CFT correspondence, as they describe a patch of (Euclidean) anti de Sitter space.

    If you are curious about the relationship between AdS and hyperbolic geometry, and you've got some math under your belt, I strongly recommend Ingemar Bengtsson's ~beautiful~ lectures on Anti de Sitter space.
