Abstract

Given a smooth, oriented, closed surface Σ\Sigma of genus zero, possibly with boundary, let Σ~Σ\tilde{\Sigma} \longrightarrow \Sigma be a given GG-cover of Σ\Sigma, where GG is a given finite group. Let SnS_{n} denote the standard sphere with nn holes. There are many ways of gluing together several GG-cover of SnS_{n} to construct the GG-cover \tsΣ\ts \longrightarrow \Sigma, of Σ\Sigma. We let M(Σ~,Σ)M(\tilde{\Sigma} ,\Sigma) be the set of all ways to construct the given GG-cover, Σ~Σ\tilde{\Sigma} \longrightarrow \Sigma, of Σ\Sigma from gluing of several GG-covers of SnS_{n}, here nn may vary. In this paper, we define some simple moves and relation which will turn M(Σ~,Σ)M(\tilde{\Sigma} ,\Sigma) into a connected and simply-connected complex. This will be used in the future paper to construct GG-equivariant Modular Functor. This GG-equivariant Modular Functor will be an extension of the usual Modular Functor.
