Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane
This ebook by means 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 airplane, 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 break out from Denmark to Sweden end result of the 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) used to be accomplished in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. notwithstanding, because of the quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that significant adjustments needed to be made prior to ebook.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage 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 files 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 files additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes unique 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 greatly concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and targeted his examine within the thought of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his activity 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 venture 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 - came across time to
finish the booklet straight forward Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which used to be released through
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his dying. 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 vague issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel informed me that he reflected elimination components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, considering that this could be coated by way of the booklet pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen publication self-contained he eventually 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 a superb 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 evidence interpreting 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 made up our minds to persist with Fenchel's intentions. even though, 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 during the ebook. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary sort of TEX.
With this TEX -manuscript I approached Walter de Gruyter in Berlin in 1992, and
to my nice reduction and pride they agreed to put up 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 replica of the various
figures that are an essential component of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to carry those in ultimate digital shape, yet via 1997 it turned transparent that he
would no longer have the ability to locate the time to take action. even if, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey special drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they'd arrange the construction of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his high-quality
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 viewpoint. 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 exact symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the ebook has been integrated. additionally,
a accomplished index has been additional. In either situations, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including a whole checklist of references, yet determined opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of learn papers during this sector. as an alternative, a far shorter
list of monographs and different finished debts proper 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 ebook into life.
Statistics on Special Manifolds
This e-book is worried with statistical research at the certain manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas which include 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 by means of the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank okay.

This result encouraged Heawood to continue his investigations into colouring maps on complex surfaces. AIJ closed surfaces (two-sided, i. e. having an "outer" side and an "inner" side) are constructed like spheres with a certain number of "handles" (or with a certain number of "holes"). Thus, the torus * For the proof of Heawood's Theorem see [10]. 37 may be thought of as "a sphere with one hole", or "a sphere with one handle" (Fig. 16, a). Fig. 16~ b shows a sphere with two holes constructed in the same way as "a sphere with two handles"; while Fig.

About twenty years of hard work spent by the two talented mathematicians was crowned with a great success - in 1968 their joint efforts led to the solution of all the twelve cases into which the proof of Heawood's hypothesis was divided. Beautiful combi.. natorial methods were developed in order to prove the Heawood formula. They also obtained stronger results on nonorientable surfaces (see [4] or [6]). All the results obtained by G. Ringel * See [6J 38 and J. W. T. Youngs can be found in the book "Map Colour Theorem" written by Gerhard Ringel after the sudden death of Youngs, arid dedicated to Professor Youngs.
Consequently, using notation analogous to that of the previous example, from the vertices Al and A 2 of the triangles xjx1A. and X2X3A2 we can find the vertex A of the triangle XIX3A constructed on the line segment Xl x) and having a known vertex angle and a known ratio of the two sides. 3 can be constructed, for instance, in the following way. 43 ) takes Xl (0 itself (first Xl is taken to X3~ and then X3 to Xl)' But the succession of these transformations is equivalent to a single similarity transformation with centre at some point B~ which can be constructed.
