Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This e-book by means of Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and complex heritage. 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 struggle II - to jot down the 1st chapters of the publication (in German). while 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 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 comprehensive in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. even though, as a result swift improvement of the topic, they felt
that significant alterations needed to be made earlier than e-book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed until eventually
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 records 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 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 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 a great deal concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and focused his study within the conception of convexity, heading
the overseas 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 venture the best way he desired to.
After his retirement from the college, Fenchel - assisted via Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - came upon time to
finish the booklet undemanding Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which was once released via
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his demise. at the same time, and with a similar
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, removal a number of the imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel advised me that he pondered elimination components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, for the reason that this could be lined by way of the ebook pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he finally 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 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 scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the facts studying of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a normal dialogue of the variation to the fashion
of TEX. In such a lot respects we determined 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 convinced key-words, will be uniform through the e-book. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the ordinary form 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 submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this confident and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the ebook grew to become out to be the copy of the numerous
figures that are an essential component of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to carry those in ultimate digital shape, yet through 1997 it turned transparent that he
would no longer be capable of locate the time to take action. even though, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey specific drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might manage the construction of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his high-quality
collaboration about the real construction 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 locations 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 pictures of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a few unique symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the ebook has been integrated. additionally,
a finished index has been extra. In either circumstances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire checklist of references, yet determined opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this region. as a substitute, a far shorter
list of monographs and different accomplished bills correct 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 e-book is anxious with statistical research at the certain manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas which include matrices. the previous is represented by way of the set of m x ok matrices whose columns are jointly 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 okay.
