Exhausting Curve Complexes by Finite Rigid Sets on Nonorientable Surfaces

Geometric Topology 2019-06-25 v1

Abstract

Let NN be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus gg with nn boundary components. Let C(N)\mathcal{C}(N) be the curve complex of NN. We prove that if (g,n)=(3,0)(g,n) = (3,0) or g+n5g + n \geq 5, then there is an exhaustion of C(N)\mathcal{C}(N) by a sequence of finite rigid sets. This improves the author's result on exhaustion of C(N)\mathcal{C}(N) by a sequence of finite superrigid sets.
