Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane

This publication through Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) and Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) has had
a lengthy and complex historical past. 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 struggle II - to write down the 1st chapters of the booklet (in German). while 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 grew to become 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 complete in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. although, because of the fast improvement of the topic, they felt
that immense adjustments needed to be made earlier than book.
When Nielsen moved to Copenhagen collage in 1951 (where he stayed till
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 records 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 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 exact 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 a great deal concerned with a radical revision of the curriculum in al-
gebra and geometry, and targeted his learn within the conception of convexity, heading
the foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally placed 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 venture the way in which he desired to.
After his retirement from the college, Fenchel - assisted by means of Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - discovered time to
finish the booklet trouble-free Geometry in Hyperbolic area, which used to be 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 a number of the imprecise issues that have been within the unique
manuscript. Fenchel instructed me that he reflected removal components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, considering that this may be lined by means of the publication pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen publication self-contained he finally selected to not do
so. He did choose to omit
27, entitled Thefundamental team.

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 scholar of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the facts interpreting of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a common dialogue of the difference to the fashion
of TEX. In so much respects we determined to stick with Fenchel's intentions. even though, 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 during the booklet. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an evidence within the ordinary variety of TEX.
With this TEX -manuscript I approached Walter de Gruyter in Berlin in 1992, and
to my nice reduction and delight they agreed to post 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 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 via 1997 it turned transparent that he
would no longer be capable of locate the time to take action. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I may still carry targeted drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they'd manage the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his superb
collaboration about the genuine construction of the figures.
My colleague Bent Fuglede, who has personaHy recognized 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 precise 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 additional. 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 study papers during this region. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different complete money owed appropriate 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 booklet into lifestyles.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

This publication is worried with statistical research at the targeted manifolds, the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, handled as statistical pattern areas which includes matrices. the previous is represented through the set of m x okay matrices whose columns are together orthogonal k-variate vectors of unit size, and the latter via the set of m x m orthogonal projection matrices idempotent of rank okay.
