The papers during this quantity are an outgrowth of the lectures and casual discussions that came about through the workshop on "The Geometry of Hamiltonian platforms" which used to be held at MSRl from June five to sixteen, 1989. It used to be, in a few feel, the final significant occasion of the year-long software on Symplectic Geometry and Mechanics. The emphasis of the entire talks was once on Hamiltonian dynamics and its courting to a number of elements of symplectic geometry and topology, mechanics, and dynamical structures more often than not. The organizers of the convention have been R. Devaney (co-chairman), H. Flaschka (co-chairman), okay. Meyer, and T. Ratiu. the complete assembly used to be equipped round mini-courses of 5 lectures every one and a sequence of 2 expository lectures. the 1st of the mini-courses was once given by means of A. T. Fomenko, who provided the paintings of his staff at Moscow college at the type of integrable structures. the second one mini direction was once given via J. Marsden of UC Berkeley, who spoke approximately numerous purposes of symplectic and Poisson aid to difficulties in balance, basic kinds, and symmetric Hamiltonian bifurcation concept. eventually, the 2 expository talks got by means of A. Fathi of the college of Florida who focused on the hyperlinks among symplectic geometry, dynamical platforms, and Teichmiiller theory.

Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane
This booklet by way of 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 struggle II - to put in writing the 1st chapters of the booklet (in German). while Fenchel,
who needed to get away from Denmark to Sweden end 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 entire in 1948 and it was once deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. notwithstanding, a result of quick improvement of the topic, they felt
that large adjustments needed to be made ahead of book.
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 used to be 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 records additionally include a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes distinct 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 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 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 all started 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 collage, Fenchel - assisted via Christian Sieben-
eicher from Bielefeld and Mrs. Obershelp who typed the manuscript - came across time to
finish the e-book ordinary Geometry in Hyperbolic house, which was once released by means of
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 almost immediately after his demise. concurrently, and with an identical
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 elimination components of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, considering the fact that this might be coated via the ebook pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen ebook self-contained he finally 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 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 a superb 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 collage) with the facts studying 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 stick to 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 sure key-words, will be uniform during 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 aid and pride they agreed to post the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm so much thankful for this optimistic and quickly response. One
particular challenge with the ebook became out to be the replica of the numerous
figures that are a vital part of the presentation. Christian Siebeneicher had at
first agreed to convey 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. notwithstanding, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still bring special drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't go away such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might arrange the construction of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his positive
collaboration about the genuine 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 standpoint. 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 photos of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of designated symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the booklet has been integrated. additionally,
a finished index has been extra. In either instances, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire checklist of references, yet made up our minds opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of learn papers during this sector. in its place, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different entire bills 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 booklet into life.

Example text
The corresponding reduced Poisson algebra is (WOO(MI')' { ,} ). I' It follows from the definitions that the underlying function space can be represented as WOO (MI') = COO(MjG)jI(MI') COO(M)G jI(J- 1 (OI'))G COO(M)G jI(J-l(p,))G where I(J-l(p,))G is the ideal of smooth G-inyariant functions on M which vanish on J-l(p,). In the last equality we have used the fact that J- 1 (OI') = G· J- 1 (p,), which is a consequence of the Ad--equivariance of J. Formally we see that reduction in singular cases works exactly as it does in regular cases.
