Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This ebook through Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and intricate background. 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 battle II - to write down the 1st chapters of the ebook (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden end result of the 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) used to be accomplished in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. even though, because of the quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that big adjustments needed to be made earlier than e-book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed until eventually
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 files 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 documents additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes special 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), used to be greatly concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and centred his learn within the thought of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his task as editor of the newly all started magazine Mathematica
Scandinavica. a lot to his dissatisfaction, this task left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen undertaking the way in which he desired to.
After his retirement from the collage, Fenchel - assisted via Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - stumbled on time to
finish the ebook trouble-free Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which was once released by way of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his demise. at the same time, and with an identical
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, elimination the various vague issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel instructed me that he pondered removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, considering that this is able to be coated by means of the e-book pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he finally selected to not do
so. He did choose to miss
27, entitled Thefundamental crew.

As editor, i began in 1990, with the consent of the felony 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 aid from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the evidence studying of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a basic dialogue of the difference to the fashion
of TEX. In so much respects we made up our minds to persist with Fenchel's intentions. although, turning
the typewritten version of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of convinced key-words, will be uniform through the booklet. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary 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 put up the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm such a lot thankful for this optimistic and fast response. One
particular challenge with the book became out to be the copy of the numerous
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to bring those in ultimate digital shape, yet by means of 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would no longer be ready to locate the time to take action. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still convey specified drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't go away such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they'd manage the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his high quality
collaboration about 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 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 specified symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the booklet has been integrated. additionally,
a entire index has been additional. In either situations, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire record of references, yet determined opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this sector. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different complete debts 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 book into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This booklet is anxious with statistical research at the targeted manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas such as matrices. the previous is represented through the set of m x ok 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 ok.
