Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This booklet by way of Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and intricate historical past. 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 publication (in German). while Fenchel,
who needed to get away from Denmark to Sweden as a result of 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. even if, a result of quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that vast adjustments needed to be made sooner than ebook.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage 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 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 information additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes precise 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 a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and focused his learn within the concept 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 undertaking the way in which he desired to.
After his retirement from the collage, Fenchel - assisted by means of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - discovered time to
finish the publication trouble-free Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which was once released through
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his demise. at the same time, and with an identical
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 instructed me that he pondered removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, seeing that this might be coated by way of the booklet pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen publication self-contained he finally selected to not do
so. He did choose to pass over
27, entitled Thefundamental team.

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 aid from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a pupil of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus college) with the facts analyzing of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a normal dialogue of the difference to the fashion
of TEX. In such a lot respects we determined to stick with Fenchel's intentions. although, turning
the typewritten version of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of convinced key-words, will be uniform in the course of the ebook. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence 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 delight they agreed to submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this optimistic and speedy response. One
particular challenge with the e-book became out to be the replica 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 by way of 1997 it turned transparent that he
would no longer be capable to locate the time to take action. in spite of the fact that, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still carry certain 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 advantageous
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 areas 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 ebook reproductions of photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a few detailed 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 instances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire record of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of examine papers during this sector. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different complete debts 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 booklet into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

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