On Fiber-preserving Isotopies of Surface Homeomorphisms
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that there are homeomorphisms of closed oriented genus g surfaces Σg which are fiber-preserving with respect to an irregular branched covering Σg → S2 and isotopic to the identity, but which are not fiber-isotopic to the identity.

Pseudo-anosov Homeomorphisms and the Lower Central Series of a Surface Group
Denote by Mod(S) the mapping class group of a compact, oriented surface S = Sg,1 of genus g ≥ 2 with one boundary component; i.e. Mod(S) is the group of homeomorphisms of S fixing ∂S pointwise up to isotopies fixing ∂S pointwise. A basic question to contemplate is: what topological or dynamical data of a mapping class can be extracted from various kinds of algebraic data? Since pseudo-Anosovs a...
متن کاملClassification of unknotting tunnels for two bridge knots
In this paper, we show that any unknotting tunnel for a two bridge knot is isotopic to either one of known ones. This together with Morimoto–Sakuma’s result gives the complete classification of unknotting tunnels for two bridge knots up to isotopies and homeomorphisms. AMS Classification 57M25; 57M05
متن کاملFiber Quadrisecants in Knot Isotopies
Fix a straight line L in Euclidean 3-space and consider the fibration of the complement of L by half-planes. A generic knot K in the complement of L has neither fiber quadrisecants nor fiber extreme secants such that K touches the corresponding half-plane at 2 points. Both types of secants occur in generic isotopies of knots. We give lower bounds for the number of these fiber secants in all iso...
متن کاملPositive isotopies of Legendrian submanifolds and applications
We show that there is no positive loop inside the component of a fiber in the space of Legendrian embeddings in the contact manifold ST ∗M , provided that the universal cover of M is Rn. We consider some related results in the space of one-jets of functions on a compact manifold. We give an application to the positive isotopies in homogeneous neighborhoods of surfaces in a tight contact 3-manif...
متن کاملOrientation-preserving Self-homeomorphisms of the Surface of Genus Two Have Points of Period at Most Two
We show that for any orientation-preserving self-homeomorphism α of the double torus Σ2 there exists a point p of Σ2 such that α(α(p)) = p. This answers a question raised by Jakob Nielsen in 1942.
