Max Dehn

A chapter in Papers on Group Theory and Topology, 1987, pp 229-233 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The next paper is an important unpublished work of Dehn: notes of a lecture to the Breslau Mathematics Colloquium on February 22, 1922. The paper is mentioned a few times in works of Baer and Goeritz (see below) but it exists only in the form of a few mimeographed copies of handwritten notes, and would probably have been lost if not for the careful preservation of the Dehn Nachlass by Wilhelm Magnus. The remaining mimeographed copies are mostly in the Humanities Library, Austin, Texas. In translating the notes I have also redrawn the diagrams.
