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 heritage. In 1938-39, Nielsen gave a sequence of lectures on
discontinuous teams of motions within the non-euclidean airplane, 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 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 entire in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. besides the fact that, a result of speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that big alterations needed to be made earlier than book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage 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 information 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 files additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes exact 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 a great deal concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and targeted his examine within the idea of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly two decades
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his task as editor of the newly began 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 college, Fenchel - assisted by means of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - came across time to
finish the booklet user-friendly Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which used to be released by way of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his loss of life. concurrently, and with an identical
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, elimination the various imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel informed me that he meditated removal elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, for the reason that this might be coated through the publication pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen publication self-contained he eventually selected to not do
so. He did choose to omit
27, entitled Thefundamental staff.

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 support from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a pupil 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 such a lot respects we determined to keep on with Fenchel's intentions. despite the fact that, 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 during the publication. 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 post 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 copy of the numerous
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to convey those in ultimate digital shape, yet via 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would now not have the ability to locate the time to take action. in spite of the fact that, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey certain 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 advantageous
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 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 ebook reproductions of images of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of precise symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the ebook has been incorporated. additionally,
a entire index has been extra. In either circumstances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire checklist of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this sector. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different complete bills suitable 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 lifestyles.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This ebook is worried with statistical research at the specific manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas together with matrices. the previous is represented through 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 ok.
