Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This booklet 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 aircraft, and this led him - in the course of
World conflict II - to put in writing the 1st chapters of the e-book (in German). whilst Fenchel,
who needed to break out from Denmark to Sweden end result of the 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 accomplished in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. despite the fact that, end result of the quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that monstrous alterations needed to be made prior to book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage 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 was once 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 a whole manuscript (manuscript I) in
English containing Chapters I-V (

1-27). The information additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes precise 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 targeted his examine 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 began magazine Mathematica
Scandinavica. a lot to his dissatisfaction, this task left him little time to complete the
Fenchel-Nielsen venture the best way he desired to.
After his retirement from the collage, Fenchel - assisted via Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - came across time to
finish the ebook straightforward Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which used to be released by means of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his loss of life. at the same time, and with an identical
collaborators, he supervised a typewritten model of the manuscript (manuscript 2) on
discontinuous teams, removal a few of the vague issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel informed me that he pondered removal elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, given that this is able to be lined through the ebook 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 crew.

As editor, i began in 1990, with the consent of the criminal heirs of Fenchel and
Nielsen, to provide 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 activity of typing this manuscript in AMS- TEX. i've got additionally had
much support from my colleague J0rn B0rling Olsson (himself a pupil of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the facts interpreting 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 so much respects we determined to keep on 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 definite key-words, will be uniform in the course of the e-book. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the traditional variety 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 fast response. One
particular challenge with the book grew to become 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 way of 1997 it turned transparent that he
would no longer manage to locate the time to take action. even though, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still bring unique drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart 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 in regards to the genuine 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 standpoint. 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 unique symbols, an inventory of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the booklet has been incorporated. additionally,
a complete index has been extra. In either instances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including a whole record of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this region. in its place, a far shorter
list of monographs and different complete debts 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 lifestyles.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This booklet is worried with statistical research at the distinctive manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas such as matrices. the previous is represented through the set of m x ok matrices whose columns are jointly orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter via the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank ok.
