Edge Preserving Maps of the Curve Graphs in Low Genus

Geometric Topology 2018-03-26 v1

Abstract

Let RR be a compact, connected, orientable surface of genus gg with nn boundary components. Let C(R)\mathcal{C}(R) be the curve graph of RR. We prove that if g=0,n5g=0, n \geq 5 or g=1,n3g=1, n \geq 3, and λ:C(R)C(R)\lambda : \mathcal{C}(R) \rightarrow\mathcal{C}(R) is an edge preserving map, then λ\lambda is induced by a homeomorphism of RR, and this homeomorphism is unique up to isotopy.
