Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane
This ebook via Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and intricate background. 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 warfare II - to put in writing the 1st chapters of the publication (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to get away from Denmark to Sweden due to the German profession,
returned in 1945, Nielsen initiated a collaboration with him on what turned 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 accomplished in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. although, as a result fast improvement of the topic, they felt
that titanic alterations needed to be made sooner than 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 was once left to Fenchel. The documents 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 documents additionally include 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), used to be greatly concerned with a radical 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 activity as editor of the newly begun 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 - chanced on time to
finish the e-book common Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which was once released by way of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his loss of life. concurrently, and with an identical
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 instructed me that he pondered elimination components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, seeing that this could be lined through the e-book pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen ebook 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 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 evidence studying of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a basic dialogue of the variation to the fashion
of TEX. In such a lot respects we determined to persist with Fenchel's intentions. in spite of 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 through the booklet. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the traditional form 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 such a lot thankful for this confident and fast response. One
particular challenge with the book became out to be the copy of the numerous
figures that are an essential component of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to convey those in ultimate digital shape, yet by means of 1997 it turned transparent that he
would now not be capable to locate the time to take action. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still convey specified drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might manage the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his advantageous
collaboration in regards to 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 viewpoint. In
this connection i need to thank The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters for permitting us to incorporate during this publication reproductions of images of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of designated symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the e-book has been incorporated. additionally,
a complete index has been further. In either situations, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire record of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of examine papers during this region. as a substitute, a far shorter
list of monographs and different finished bills 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 e-book into lifestyles.
