I will present two preprints [arXiv:2503.17816] and [arXiv:2503.19415], devoted to a basic equation of the form u''(x) + h(x) u(x) = 0. I will start with a discussion about generality of this equation and then introduce a family of metrics on an upper half plane, defined in terms of the function h(x). The sectional curvature of all these metrics is equal to -1, thus, they locally describe the same hyperbolic geometry. As the main result I will present a general solution of the equation in question expressed in terms of geodesic curves in the proposed two dimensional hyperbolic model. I will also show that an arbitrary pair of linearly independent solutions gives a diffeomorphism between the introduced geometry and Poincare upper half plane. In the second part I will discuss an equivalent approach in which the Riemannian geometry is replaced by an analogous Lorentzian geometry. Interestingly, it turns out that solutions of the associated Ricatti equation are at the same time geodesics in this second model. In the last part I will resort to complex Riemannian geometry with a holomorphic metric, in which I generalize previous result to the complex case with a holomorphic function h(z). Interestingly, this last geometry is locally diffeomorphic to a complex sphere with imaginary radius.
