Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This booklet via Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and intricate heritage. 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 warfare II - to write down the 1st chapters of the ebook (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden as a result of the German profession,
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 accomplished in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. in spite of the fact that, as a result swift improvement of the topic, they felt
that gigantic alterations needed to be made sooner than ebook.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen college in 1951 (where he stayed until eventually
1955), he used to be 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 data 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 collage in 1956 (and stayed there
until 1974), was once greatly concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and centred his study within the concept of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly two decades
he additionally placed 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 through Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - chanced on time to
finish the e-book uncomplicated Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which used to be released through
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his dying. concurrently, and with an analogous
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 instructed me that he pondered removal elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, because this may be lined via 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 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 examining 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 such a lot respects we determined to stick with Fenchel's intentions. besides the fact that, 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 booklet. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary type 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 submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm such a lot thankful for this optimistic and speedy response. One
particular challenge with the booklet 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 carry those in ultimate digital shape, yet through 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would no longer be ready to locate the time to take action. despite the fact that, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still convey detailed drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't go away such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might set up the construction of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his superb
collaboration in regards to 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 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 ebook reproductions of photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of particular symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the e-book has been incorporated. additionally,
a entire index has been additional. In either situations, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire checklist of references, yet determined 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 accomplished money owed 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 worried with statistical research at the distinctive 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 together orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter by way of the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank okay.
