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 heritage. 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 battle II - to put in writing the 1st chapters of the booklet (in German). while Fenchel,
who needed to get away from Denmark to Sweden as a result German career,
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 used to be deliberate to be released within the Princeton
Mathematical sequence. besides the fact that, as a result of speedy improvement of the topic, they felt
that tremendous alterations needed to be made sooner than booklet.
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 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 files additionally include a part of a corre-
spondence (first in German yet later in Danish) among Nielsen and Fenchel, the place
Nielsen makes specified 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 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 foreign Colloquium on Convexity in Copenhagen 1965. for nearly twenty years
he additionally positioned a lot attempt into his task 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 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 via
Walter de Gruyter in 1989 presently after his dying. concurrently, and with an analogous
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 reflected elimination elements of the introductory
Chapter I within the manuscript, seeing that this may be coated through the booklet pointed out above;
but to make the Fenchel-Nielsen e-book self-contained he finally selected to not do
so. He did choose to pass over
27, entitled Thefundamental crew.

As editor, i began in 1990, with the consent of the criminal 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 pupil of Kate Fenchel
at Aarhus collage) with the evidence interpreting of the TEX-manuscript (manuscript three)
against manuscript 2 in addition to with a basic dialogue of the difference 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 e-book. additionally,
we have indicated the start and finish of an explanation within the traditional type 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 submit the manuscript of their sequence
Studies in arithmetic. i'm such a lot thankful for this optimistic and quickly 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 bring 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. although, the writer provided an answer
whereby I should still convey particular drawings of the figures (Fenchel didn't depart such
for Chapters IV and V), after which they might set up the creation of the figures in
electronic shape. i'm very thankful to Marcin Adamski, Warsaw, Poland, for his positive
collaboration about the real 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 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 pictures of the 2
authors that are within the ownership of the Academy.
Since the manuscript makes use of a couple of targeted symbols, a listing of notation with brief
explanations and connection with the particular definition within the e-book has been incorporated. additionally,
a complete index has been extra. In either situations, all references are to sections,
not pages.
We thought of including an entire record of references, yet determined opposed to it because of
the overwhelming variety of learn papers during this sector. as a substitute, a miles shorter
list of monographs and different finished money owed suitable 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 ebook into lifestyles.

Statistics on Special Manifolds

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