Let C(R) be the complex of curves on R and Mod_R^* be the extended mapping class group of R. Suppose that either g = 2 and p > 1 or g > 2 and p >= 0. We prove that a simplicial map lambda from C(R) to C(R) is superinjective if and only if it is induced by a homeomorphism of R. As a corollary, we prove that if K is a finite index subgroup of Mod_R^* and f is an injective homomorphism from K to Mod_R^*, then f is induced by a homeomorphism of R and f has a unique extension to an automorphism of Mod_R^*. This extends the author's previous results about closed connected orientable surfaces of genus at least 3, to the surface R.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-12-29T19:44:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M99", "20F38" ], "keywords": [ "superinjective simplicial maps", "injective homomorphism", "orientable surface", "simplicial map lambda", "finite index subgroup" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....11407I" } } }
