where e {l, 2, 5, . . .} occur in triples (x^, x2, x3) satisfying Markoffs equation (1.2) The proof by A. Markoff [15] (see also L. E. Dickson [6]) uses regulär continued fractions, and the Markoff forms are constructed in 1-1 correspondance to the so-called Markoffsymbols. Another method of proof due to G, Frobenius [10], R. Remak [18], [19], and J. W. S. Cassels [1] works with Isolation theorems and compactness arguments for quadratic forms. The construction of the Markoff forms is here based on the Solutions of (1. 2). A third approach due to H. Cohn [2] (see also C. G. Lekkerkerker [13]) relates the construction of the Markoff forms to certain triples of generators of a specific modular group of genus 1. This method makes essential applications of the following trace relations of R. Fricke [8] : (1. 3) (trT (l . 4) tr UTU + tr T = (tr U) (tr TU), valid for any (real) 2 x 2 matrices T, U of determinant l.)
