Abstract : Let ${L}:C \rightarrow C$ be a hyperbolic automorphism. Then the hyperbolic toral automorphism $L_A:T^2 \rightarrow T^2$, induced by $L$, is a chaotic map (\cite{De} pg.192). We characterize hyperbolic toral automorphisms by proving the converse of the above statement.
Keywords : chaotic map, hyperbolic toral automorphism, Weierstrass $\mathcal P$ function and the Riemann sphere
