Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This ebook by means of Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and complex heritage. In 1938-39, Nielsen gave a chain of lectures on
discontinuous teams of motions within the non-euclidean aircraft, and this led him - in the course of
World conflict II - to jot down the 1st chapters of the booklet (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden as a result German career,
returned in 1945, Nielsen initiated a collaboration with him on what grew to become recognized
as the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript. at the moment they have been either on the Technical
University in Copenhagen. the 1st draft of the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript (now
in English) used to be comprehensive in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. even though, as a result quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that immense adjustments needed to be made sooner than booklet.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage in 1951 (where he stayed till
1955), he used to be a lot concerned with the overseas association UNESCO, and the
further writing of the manuscript used to be left to Fenchel. The documents of Fenchel now
deposited and catalogued on the division of arithmetic at Copenhagen Univer-
sity include unique manuscripts: a partial manuscript (manuscript zero) in Ger-
man containing Chapters I-II (

I -15), and an entire manuscript (manuscript I) in
English containing Chapters I-V (

1-27). The information additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes unique reviews to Fenchel's writings of Chapters III-V. Fenchel,
who succeeded N. E. Nf/Jrlund at Copenhagen collage in 1956 (and stayed there
until 1974), was once greatly concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and targeted his study within the thought of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly two decades
he additionally placed a lot attempt into his activity as editor of the newly begun magazine Mathematica
Scandinavica. a lot to his dissatisfaction, this task left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen venture the best way he desired to.
After his retirement from the collage, Fenchel - assisted through Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - chanced on time to
finish the ebook basic Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which used to be released by means of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his dying. at the same time, and with an identical
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, elimination some of the vague issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel instructed me that he pondered removal elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, in view that this could be lined by way of the ebook pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he eventually selected to not do
so. He did choose to miss
27, entitled Thefundamental workforce.

As editor, i began in 1990, with the consent of the criminal heirs of Fenchel and
Nielsen, to supply a TEX-version from the newly typewritten model (manuscript 2).
I am thankful to Dita Andersen and Lise Fuldby-Olsen in my division for hav-
ing performed an excellent activity of typing this manuscript in AMS- TEX. i've got additionally had
much support from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a pupil of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus college) with the facts analyzing of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a normal dialogue of the difference to the fashion
of TEX. In such a lot respects we determined to stick with Fenchel's intentions. even though, turning
the typewritten variation of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of yes key-words, will be uniform in the course of the ebook. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary type of TEX.
With this TEX -manuscript I approached Walter de Gruyter in Berlin in 1992, and
to my nice aid and delight they agreed to put up the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm such a lot thankful for this confident and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the e-book became out to be the replica of the various
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to carry those in ultimate digital shape, yet through 1997 it turned transparent that he
would now not have the ability to locate the time to take action. even though, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still bring targeted drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't go away such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they'd arrange the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his positive
collaboration about the real construction of the figures.
My colleague Bent Fuglede, who has personaHy recognized either authors, has kindly
written a quick biography of the 2 of them and their mathematical achievements,
and which additionally areas the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript in its right standpoint. In
this connection i want to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this booklet reproductions of photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a few distinct symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the booklet has been integrated. additionally,
a accomplished index has been additional. In either instances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire record of references, yet determined opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of examine papers during this sector. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different entire debts proper to the topic has been
collected.
My ultimate and so much honest thank you visit Dr. Manfred Karbe from Walter de Gruyter
for his commitment and perseverance in bringing this booklet into lifestyles.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This booklet is worried with statistical research at the exact manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas together with matrices. the previous is represented by way of the set of m x okay matrices whose columns are at the same time orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter through the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank ok.
