Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This ebook by way 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 conflict II - to jot down the 1st chapters of the ebook (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to get away from Denmark to Sweden as a result German career,
returned in 1945, Nielsen initiated a collaboration with him on what grew to become 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 used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. notwithstanding, a result of speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that big adjustments needed to be made prior to e-book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college 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 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 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 distinct 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 greatly concerned with an intensive revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and targeted his learn within the concept of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
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 venture the way in which he desired to.
After his retirement from the college, Fenchel - assisted by means of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - came across time to
finish the e-book hassle-free Geometry in Hyperbolic house, 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, elimination a few of the imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel informed me that he reflected elimination elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, when you consider that this may be coated by way of the e-book pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen publication self-contained he eventually selected to not do
so. He did choose to miss
27, entitled Thefundamental workforce.

As editor, i began in 1990, with the consent of the criminal 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 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 scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus college) with the evidence examining of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a common dialogue of the variation to the fashion
of TEX. In such a lot respects we made up our minds to stick with Fenchel's intentions. although, turning
the typewritten variation of the manuscript into TEX helped us to make sure that the notation,
and the spelling of definite key-words, will be uniform in the course of the e-book. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary variety of TEX.
With this TEX -manuscript I approached Walter de Gruyter in Berlin in 1992, and
to my nice reduction and delight they agreed to submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm such a lot thankful for this confident and speedy response. One
particular challenge with the ebook grew to become out to be the copy of the numerous
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to bring those in ultimate digital shape, yet via 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would now not be capable of locate the time to take action. even if, 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 might manage the construction of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his effective
collaboration about the genuine creation 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 point of view. In
this connection i want to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this e-book reproductions of pictures of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of distinct symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the e-book 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 checklist of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of learn papers during this zone. in its place, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different entire money owed appropriate 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 publication is anxious with statistical research at the distinct manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas inclusive of matrices. the previous is represented by way of the set of m x ok matrices whose columns are collectively orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter through the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank okay.
