Abstract

Let G be a finitely generated Fuchsian group of the first kind and let (g : m1, m2, …, mn) be its shortened signature. Beardon showed that almost every Dirichlet region for G has 12g + 4n − 6 sides. Points in ℍ corresponding to Dirichlet regions for G with fewer sides are called exceptional for G. We generalize previously established methods to show that, for any such G, its set of exceptional points is uncountable.
