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 get away from Denmark to Sweden a result of German profession,
returned in 1945, Nielsen initiated a collaboration with him on what grew to become recognized
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 accomplished in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. although, end result of the speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that enormous alterations needed to be made prior to ebook.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed until eventually
1955), he used to be a lot concerned with the overseas 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 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 information 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), was once a great deal concerned with an intensive revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and centred his examine within the concept of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly two decades
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his activity as editor of the newly began 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 by way of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - stumbled on time to
finish the publication straightforward Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which used to be released via
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his loss of life. at the same time, and with a similar
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, removal some of the vague issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel instructed me that he pondered elimination elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, for the reason that this might be coated by way of the booklet pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he eventually selected to not do
so. He did choose to miss
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 a superb activity of typing this manuscript in AMS- TEX. i've got additionally had
much aid from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a pupil of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the facts studying of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a common dialogue of the variation to the fashion
of TEX. In so much respects we made up our minds to stick with Fenchel's intentions. even if, turning
the typewritten variation of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of definite key-words, will be uniform during the ebook. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the traditional type of TEX.
With this TEX -manuscript I approached Walter de Gruyter in Berlin in 1992, and
to my nice aid and pride they agreed to put up the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this optimistic and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the book became out to be the copy of the various
figures that are an essential component of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to convey those in ultimate digital shape, yet by means of 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would now not have the ability to locate the time to take action. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey distinct 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 high quality
collaboration in regards to the genuine construction of the figures.
My colleague Bent Fuglede, who has personaHy identified either authors, has kindly
written a quick biography of the 2 of them and their mathematical achievements,
and which additionally locations the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript in its right viewpoint. In
this connection i need to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this booklet 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 booklet has been incorporated. additionally,
a entire index has been additional. 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 learn papers during this sector. in its place, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different finished 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 ebook into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This booklet is anxious with statistical research at the unique manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas along with matrices. the previous is represented by way of 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.
