This book is concerned with discontinuous groups of motions of the unique connected and simply connected Riemannian 3-manifold of constant curvature -1, which is traditionally called hyperbolic 3-space. This space is the 3-dimensional instance of an analogous Riemannian manifold which exists uniquely in every dimension n≥2....
From the reviews of the fourth edition: „This book treats some central parts of real analysis which are of great importance for functional analysis and for probability theory. … is a big success in the community of those mathematicians who read German works. … My summary: This book is a comprehensive, nicely written treatise on central results with convincing proofs. Moreover, interesting details of the history of the subject are presented. … My opinion is that this is a very interesting book for students as well as for professional mathematicians.“ (Klaus Janssen, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 g)
