Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This publication through Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and intricate historical past. 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 e-book (in German). whilst 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 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) used to be comprehensive in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. in spite of the fact that, as a result fast improvement of the topic, they felt
that gigantic alterations needed to be made prior to book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage in 1951 (where he stayed until eventually
1955), he was once a lot concerned with the foreign 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 documents additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes specific 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), was once a great deal concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and centred his examine within the idea of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly two decades
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his task as editor of the newly began 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 by way of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - stumbled on time to
finish the e-book uncomplicated Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which was once released through
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 the various 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, considering the fact that this might be coated by means of the ebook pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen booklet self-contained he eventually selected to not do
so. He did choose to omit
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 aid from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus college) with the facts studying 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 to Fenchel's intentions. despite the fact that, turning
the typewritten version 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 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 delight they agreed to post the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this confident and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the 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 means of 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would no longer be ready to locate the time to take action. notwithstanding, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey exact drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might arrange the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his advantageous
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 locations 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 booklet reproductions of pictures of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of distinctive symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the booklet has been integrated. additionally,
a entire index has been extra. In either circumstances, 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 examine papers during this quarter. in its place, a far shorter
list of monographs and different complete 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 ebook is worried with statistical research at the distinct manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, taken care of as statistical pattern areas which includes matrices. the previous is represented by way of the set of m x ok matrices whose columns are at the same time orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter via the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank okay.
