Hurwitz Equivalence of Braid Monodromies and Extremal Elliptic Surfaces

چکیده
We discuss the equivalence between the categories of certain ribbon graphs and subgroups of the modular group Γ and use this equivalence to construct exponentially large families of not Hurwitz equivalent simple braid monodromy factorizations of the same element. As an application, we also obtain exponentially large families of topologically distinct algebraic objects such as extremal elliptic surfaces, real trigonal curves, and real elliptic surfaces.

Hurwitz Equivalence of Braid Group Factorizations Consisting of a Semi-Frame
In this paper we prove certain Hurwitz equivalence properties in the braid group. Our main result is that every two factorizations of ∆n where the elements of the factorization are semi-frame are Hurwitz equivalent. The results of this paper are generalization of the results in [8]. We use a new presentation of the braid group, called the Birman-Ko-Lee presentation, to define the semi-frame str...
متن کاملGraph Theoretic Method for Determining non- Hurwitz Equivalence in the Braid Group and Symmetric group
Motivated by the problem of Hurwitz equivalence of ∆ factorization in the braid group, we address the problem of Hurwitz equivalence in the symmetric group, obtained by projecting the ∆ factorizations into Sn. We get 1Sn factorizations with transposition factors. Looking at the transpositions as the edges in a graph, we show that two factorizations are Hurwitz equivalent if and only if their gr...
متن کاملThe Hurwitz Equivalence Problem Is Undecidable
In this paper, we prove that the Hurwitz equivalence problem for 1-factorizations in F2⊕F2 is undecidable, and as a consequence, the Hurwitz equivalence problem for ∆-factorizations in the braid groups Bn, n ≥ 5 is also undecidable.

متن کاملHurwitz Spaces and Braid Group Representations Partially Supported by the National Science Foundation
In this paper we investigate certain moduli spaces (\Hurwitz spaces") of branched covers of the Riemann sphere S 2 , and representations of nite index subgroups of the spherical braid group which arise from these Hurwitz spaces. (By spherical braid group, we mean the group of braids in the 2-sphere; we will refer to the more classical group of braids in the plane as the planar braid group.) Hur...
