Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This booklet through 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 airplane, and this led him - in the course of
World conflict II - to jot down the 1st chapters of the ebook (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden due to the German profession,
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) used to be accomplished in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. notwithstanding, a result of speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that big adjustments 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 foreign association UNESCO, and the
further writing of the manuscript was once left to Fenchel. The files 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 include a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes targeted 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 focused his examine within the conception of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly two decades
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 task left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen undertaking the way in which he desired to.
After his retirement from the college, Fenchel - assisted via Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - stumbled on time to
finish the e-book uncomplicated Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which was once released by way of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his dying. concurrently, and with an analogous
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, removal some of the imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel advised me that he pondered removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, on account that this could be coated by means of the ebook pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen publication self-contained he finally 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 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 a superb 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 examining 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. notwithstanding, turning
the typewritten variation of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of sure key-words, will be uniform through 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 pride they agreed to put up the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this confident and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the booklet grew to become 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 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 should still carry specified drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart 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 high-quality
collaboration in regards to the real 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 areas the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript in its right viewpoint. 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 particular symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the publication has been integrated. additionally,
a accomplished index has been extra. In either situations, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including a whole record of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this region. in its place, a far shorter
list of monographs and different accomplished 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 book into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

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