48 results for Birman-Hilden theorem

The Birman-Hilden theory is extended to infinite type surfaces and branched covers.

problem Extending Birman-Hilden theory to surfaces of infinite type and branched covers of infinite degree.
method Proving the Birman-Hilden property for fully ramified branched covering maps.
result The mapping class group of a non-orientable surface of infinite type can be realized as a subgroup of the mapping class group of its orientable double cover.

We consider finite-sheeted, regular, possibly branched covering spaces of compact surfaces with boundary and the associated liftable and symmetric mapping class groups. In particular, we classify when either of these subgroups coincides with the entire mapping class group of the surface. As a consequence, we construct …

In the 1970s Joan Birman and Hugh Hilden wrote several papers on the problem of relating the mapping class group of a surface to that of a cover. We survey their work, give an overview of the subsequent developments, and discuss open questions and new directions.

In this article, we determine the function (Sg,p)\ell(S_{g, p}) such that the right-angled Artin group G(Pm)G(P_{m}) is embedded in the mapping class group Mod(Sg,p)\mathrm{Mod}(S_{g, p}) if and only if mm is not more than (Sg,p)\ell(S_{g, p}). Using this function and Birman--Hilden theory, we prove that Mod(S0,p)\mathrm{Mod}(S_{0, p}) is vir…

We say that a cover of surfaces S -> X has the Birman--Hilden property if the subgroup of the mapping class group of X consisting of mapping classes that have representatives that lift to S embeds in the mapping class group of S modulo the group of deck transformations. We identify one necessary condition and one suffi…
