Simplicial embeddings between multicurve graphs

Geometric Topology 2016-04-01 v3 Combinatorics

Abstract

We study some graphs associated to a surface, called k-multicurve graphs, which interpolate between the curve complex and the pants graph. Our main result is that, under certain conditions, simplicial embeddings between multicurve graphs are induced by π1\pi_1-injective embeddings of the corresponding surfaces. We also prove the rigidity of the multicurve graphs.
