One of the main themes of this book is the conflict between
the "flexibility'' and the "rigidity properties of the hyperbolic
manifolds: the first radical difference arises between the case of
dimension 2 and the case of higher dimensions (as proved in
chapters B and C), an elementary feature of thus phenomenon being
the difference between the Riemann mapping theorem and Liouville''s
theorem, as pointed out in chapter A. Thus chapter is rather
clementary and most of its material may'' be the object of an
undergraduate course.
Together with the rigidity theorem, a basic tool for the study of
hyperbolic manifolds is Margulis'' lemma, a detailed proof of which
we give in chapter D; as a consequence of this result in the same
chapter we also give a rather accurate description, in all
dimensions, of the thin-thick decomposition of a hyperbolic
manifold (especially in case of finite volume).
