Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This publication via Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and intricate 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 write down the 1st chapters of the e-book (in German). while Fenchel,
who needed to get away 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 comprehensive in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. in spite of the fact that, because of the speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that significant alterations needed to be made prior to book.
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 was once left to Fenchel. The records 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 an entire manuscript (manuscript I) in
English containing Chapters I-V (

1-27). The information additionally include a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes particular reviews to Fenchel's writings of Chapters III-V. Fenchel,
who succeeded N. E. Nf/Jrlund at Copenhagen collage in 1956 (and stayed there
until 1974), used to be greatly concerned with an intensive revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and focused his learn within the conception of convexity, heading
the overseas 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 job left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen undertaking the best way he desired to.
After his retirement from the collage, Fenchel - assisted through Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - came across time to
finish the ebook easy Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which was once released through
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his demise. at the same time, and with an analogous
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, removal the various imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel instructed me that he pondered removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, due to the fact this might be lined by way of 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 workforce.

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 activity 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 facts interpreting 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 so much respects we determined to keep on with Fenchel's intentions. despite the fact that, turning
the typewritten variation of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of yes key-words, will be uniform through the e-book. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary type 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 so much thankful for this optimistic and fast response. One
particular challenge with the e-book 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 convey those in ultimate digital shape, yet through 1997 it turned transparent that he
would no longer manage to locate the time to take action. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey distinctive drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't go away such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might manage the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his wonderful
collaboration about the genuine creation of the figures.
My colleague Bent Fuglede, who has personaHy recognized 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 want to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this publication reproductions of photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of precise symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the booklet has been incorporated. additionally,
a entire 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 learn papers during this sector. as an alternative, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different entire 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 e-book into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This ebook is worried with statistical research at the detailed manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas which includes matrices. the previous is represented via the set of m x okay matrices whose columns are at the same time orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter through the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank ok.
