چکیده
Let $\tilde{f}\colon(S^2,\widetilde{A})\circlearrowleft$ be a Thurston map and let $M(\tilde{f})$ its mapping class biset: isotopy classes rel $\widetilde{A}$ of maps obtained by pre- post-composing $\tilde{f}$ the group $(S^2,\widetilde{A})$. $A\subseteq\widetilde{A}$ an $\tilde{f}$-invariant subset, $f\colon(S^2,A)\circlearrowleft$ induced map. We give analogue Birman short exact sequence: just as $\mathbf{Mod}(S^2,\widetilde{A})$ is iterated extension $\mathbf{Mod}(S^2,A)$ fundamental groups punctured spheres, $M(f)$ dynamical biset $f$.

Algorithmic aspects of branched coverings
This is the announcement, and the long summary, of a series of articles on the algorithmic study of Thurston maps. We describe branched coverings of the sphere in terms of group-theoretical objects called bisets, and develop a theory of decompositions of bisets. We introduce a canonical “Levy” decomposition of an arbitrary Thurston map into homeomorphisms, metrically-expanding maps and maps dou...
متن کاملAlgorithmic aspects of branched coverings II. Sphere bisets and their decompositions
We consider the action of mapping class groups, by preand postcomposition, on branched coverings, and encode them algebraically as mapping class bisets. We show how the mapping class biset of maps preserving a multicurve decomposes into mapping class bisets of smaller complexity, called small mapping class bisets. We phrase the decision problem of Thurston equivalence between branched self-cove...
متن کاملA Birman exact sequence for AutpFnq
The Birman exact sequence describes the effect on the mapping class group of a surface with boundary of gluing discs to the boundary components. We construct an analogous exact sequence for the automorphism group of a free group. For the mapping class group, the kernel of the Birman exact sequence is a surface braid group. We prove that in the context of the automorphism group of a free group, ...
متن کاملA Birman exact sequence for the Torelli subgroup of AutpFnq
We develop an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the Torelli subgroup of AutpFnq. This builds on earlier work of the authors who studied an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the entire group AutpFnq. These results play an important role in the authors’ recent work on the second homology group of the Torelli group.
متن کاملBranched coverings of maps and lifts of map homomorphisms
In this article we generalize both ordinary and permutation voltage constructions to obtain all branched coverings of maps. We approach a map as a set of flags together with three fixed-point-free involutions and relate this approach with other standard representations. We define a lift as a function from these flags into a group. Ordinary voltage and ordinary current assignments are special ca...
