Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This e-book by way of Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and complex background. 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 struggle II - to jot down the 1st chapters of the booklet (in German). while 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 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) was once accomplished in 1948 and it used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. even if, end result of the speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that vast adjustments needed to be made prior to book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage 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 was once left to Fenchel. The data 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 data additionally comprise a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes special 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), used to be greatly concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and targeted his study within the thought of convexity, heading
the overseas Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally placed a lot attempt into his activity as editor of the newly all started 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 through Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - stumbled on time to
finish the booklet simple Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which used to be released by way of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately 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 some of the vague issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel informed me that he pondered removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, given that this may be coated by way of the e-book pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he finally selected to not do
so. He did choose to miss
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 support 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 so much respects we determined to persist with Fenchel's intentions. although, 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 publication. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the traditional 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 submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this confident and speedy response. One
particular challenge with the ebook became out to be the replica of the various
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to carry those in ultimate digital shape, yet via 1997 it grew to become transparent that he
would no longer have the capacity to locate the time to take action. despite the fact that, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still carry targeted drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they'd arrange the creation 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 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 ebook reproductions of photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a few specified symbols, a listing 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 an entire checklist of references, yet determined opposed to it as a result of
the overwhelming variety of study papers during this sector. as a substitute, a far shorter
list of monographs and different accomplished bills proper to the topic has been
collected.
My ultimate and so much honest thank you visit Dr. Manfred Karbe from Walter de Gruyter
for his commitment and perseverance in bringing this ebook into lifestyles.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This booklet is worried with statistical research at the designated manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas including matrices. the previous is represented by means of the set of m x okay 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.
