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 intricate background. In 1938-39, Nielsen gave a sequence of lectures on
discontinuous teams of motions within the non-euclidean aircraft, and this led him - in the course of
World warfare II - to put in writing the 1st chapters of the booklet (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden a result of German career,
returned in 1945, Nielsen initiated a collaboration with him on what grew to become 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 complete in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. although, end result of the fast improvement of the topic, they felt
that monstrous alterations needed to be made sooner than e-book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed till
1955), he was once 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 comprise unique manuscripts: a partial manuscript (manuscript zero) in Ger-
man containing Chapters I-II (

I -15), and a whole manuscript (manuscript I) in
English containing Chapters I-V (

1-27). The records 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 a great deal concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and centred his examine within the thought of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally placed a lot attempt into his task as editor of the newly all started magazine Mathematica
Scandinavica. a lot to his dissatisfaction, this job left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen undertaking the best way 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 - came upon time to
finish the booklet straight forward Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which used to be released via
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his dying. concurrently, and with a similar
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 reflected removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, on the grounds that this could be coated by means of the e-book 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 crew.

As editor, i began in 1990, with the consent of the criminal heirs of Fenchel and
Nielsen, to provide 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 aid from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the facts analyzing of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a common dialogue of the difference to the fashion
of TEX. In so much respects we determined to persist with 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 yes key-words, will be uniform through the publication. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the traditional variety 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 post the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this optimistic and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the booklet became out to be the replica of the numerous
figures that are an essential component of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to convey 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. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still bring distinct drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might manage the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his fantastic
collaboration about the genuine creation of the figures.
My colleague Bent Fuglede, who has personaHy recognized 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 want to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this publication reproductions of photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a few certain symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the ebook has been incorporated. additionally,
a finished index has been extra. In either instances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including a whole checklist of references, yet determined opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this sector. as an alternative, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different accomplished debts proper to the topic has been
collected.
My ultimate and such a lot honest thank you visit Dr. Manfred Karbe from Walter de Gruyter
for his commitment and perseverance in bringing this ebook into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This e-book is worried with statistical research at the precise manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas including 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 by way of the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank ok.
