For S the twice-punctured torus, we show that there exists an isomorphism of finite index subgroups of Mod(S) which is not the restriction of an inner automorphism. For S a torus with at least three punctures, we show that every injection of a finite index subgroup of Mod(S) into Mod(S) is the restriction of an inner automorphism; this completes a program begun by Irmak. For all of the above surfaces, we establish the co-Hopf property for finite index subgroups of Mod(S).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-04-21T08:15:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M99", "20F38" ], "keywords": [ "finite index subgroup", "curve complexes", "inner automorphism", "restriction", "extended mapping class group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......4328B" } } }
