We present an overview of pattern formation analysis for an analogue of the
Swift-Hohenberg equation posed on the real hyperbolic space of dimension two,
which we identify with the Poincar\'e disc D. Different types of patterns are
considered: spatially periodic stationary solutions, radial solutions and
traveling waves, however there are significant differences in the results with
the Euclidean case. We apply equivariant bifurcation theory to the study of
spatially periodic solutions on a given lattice of D also called H-planforms in
reference with the "planforms" introduced for pattern formation in Euclidean
space. We consider in details the case of the regular octagonal lattice and
give a complete descriptions of all H-planforms bifurcating in this case. For
radial solutions (in geodesic polar coordinates), we present a result of
existence for stationary localized radial solutions, which we have adapted from
techniques on the Euclidean plane. Finally, we show that unlike the Euclidean
case, the Swift-Hohenberg equation in the hyperbolic plane undergoes a Hopf
bifurcation to traveling waves which are invariant along horocycles of D and
periodic in the "transverse" direction. We highlight our theoretical results
with a selection of numerical simulations.Comment: Dedicated to Klaus Kirchg\"assne
