Curves on non--orientable surfaces and crosscap transpositions

Geometric Topology 2022-03-07 v3

Abstract

Let Ng,nN_{g,n} be an nn--punctured non--orientable surface of genus gg with one boundary component. For g2g\geq 2 one of the generators of the mapping class group of Ng,nN_{g,n} is a crosscap transposition. We give explicit formulae for the action of crosscap transpositions and their inverses on the set of multicurves in Ng,nN_{g,n} in terms of generalized Dynnikov coordinates.
