Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This ebook by way of Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and complex historical past. 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 struggle II - to put in writing the 1st chapters of the ebook (in German). while Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden as a result of German career,
returned in 1945, Nielsen initiated a collaboration with him on what turned identified
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) was once entire in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. even though, as a result of quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that vast adjustments needed to be made earlier than ebook.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed till
1955), he used to be a lot concerned with the foreign association UNESCO, and the
further writing of the manuscript used to be left to Fenchel. The records of Fenchel now
deposited and catalogued on the division of arithmetic at Copenhagen Univer-
sity comprise 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 documents additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes particular reviews to Fenchel's writings of Chapters III-V. Fenchel,
who succeeded N. E. Nf/Jrlund at Copenhagen college in 1956 (and stayed there
until 1974), was once greatly concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and focused his study within the idea of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his activity as editor of the newly begun magazine Mathematica
Scandinavica. a lot to his dissatisfaction, this job left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen venture the way in which he desired to.
After his retirement from the collage, Fenchel - assisted by way of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - chanced on time to
finish the ebook basic Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which was once released by means of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his demise. at the same time, and with an analogous
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, elimination a number of the imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel advised me that he pondered removal elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, for the reason that this could be coated by means 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 pass over
27, entitled Thefundamental staff.

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 task of typing this manuscript in AMS- TEX. i've got additionally had
much support from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus college) with the evidence examining of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a basic dialogue of the variation to the fashion
of TEX. In such a lot respects we made up our minds to stick to Fenchel's intentions. even if, turning
the typewritten version of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of sure key-words, will be uniform during the publication. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the traditional variety of TEX.
With this TEX -manuscript I approached Walter de Gruyter in Berlin in 1992, and
to my nice reduction and delight they agreed to submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm such a lot thankful for this confident and fast response. One
particular challenge with the book grew to become out to be the copy of the numerous
figures that are an essential component of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to bring those in ultimate digital shape, yet by way of 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would no longer have the ability to locate the time to take action. even if, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey special drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't go away such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they'd manage the construction of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his fantastic
collaboration in regards to the real creation of the figures.
My colleague Bent Fuglede, who has personaHy identified either authors, has kindly
written a brief biography of the 2 of them and their mathematical achievements,
and which additionally locations the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript in its right point of view. In
this connection i need to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this e-book reproductions of pictures of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of distinctive symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the ebook has been incorporated. additionally,
a complete index has been further. In either circumstances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire record of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this quarter. as an alternative, a far shorter
list of monographs and different finished bills suitable 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 e-book into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This e-book is anxious with statistical research at the exact manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas which includes matrices. the previous is represented via the set of m x okay matrices whose columns are collectively orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter through the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank okay.
