Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This e-book via Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and complex 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 conflict II - to write down the 1st chapters of the ebook (in German). while 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 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) was once entire in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. even though, as a result fast improvement of the topic, they felt
that enormous adjustments needed to be made sooner than e-book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed until eventually
1955), he was once a lot concerned with the overseas association UNESCO, and the
further writing of the manuscript used to be left to Fenchel. The documents 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 records additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes designated 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 focused his study within the conception of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally positioned 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 best way he desired to.
After his retirement from the college, Fenchel - assisted by way of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - stumbled on time to
finish the e-book common Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which was once released by means of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his loss of life. at the same time, and with an analogous
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, elimination a number of the imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel instructed me that he reflected elimination elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, due to the fact this might be coated through the ebook pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he eventually 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 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 basic dialogue of the difference to the fashion
of TEX. In so much respects we made up our minds to keep on 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 during the ebook. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the traditional sort 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 post the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this optimistic and speedy response. One
particular challenge with the book became out to be the copy of the numerous
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to carry those in ultimate digital shape, yet through 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would now not be capable of locate the time to take action. besides the fact that, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey exact 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 effective
collaboration about the real 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 areas the Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript in its right point of view. In
this connection i need 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 certain symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the ebook has been incorporated. additionally,
a accomplished index has been additional. In either instances, 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 sector. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different complete money owed correct 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 e-book into life.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

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