Abstract

Let ff be a Morse function on a smooth compact surface MM and S(f)\mathcal{S}'(f) be a group of ff-preserving diffeomorphisms of MM which are isotopic to the identity map. Let also G(f)G(f) be a group of automorphisms of the graph of ff induced by elements from S(f)\mathcal{S}'(f), and Δ\Delta' be a subgroup of S(f)\mathcal{S}'(f) of diffeomorphisms which trivially act on the graph of ff and are isotopic to the identity map. The group π0S(f)\pi_0\mathcal{S}'(f) can be viewed as an analogue of a mapping class group for ff-preserved diffeomorphisms of MM. Groups π0Δ(f)\pi_0\Delta'(f) and G(f)G(f) can be viewed as groups which encode `combinatorially trivial' and `combinatorially nontrivial' counterparts of π0S(f)\pi_0\mathcal{S}'(f) respectively. In the paper we compute groups π0S(f)\pi_0\mathcal{S}'(f), G(f)G(f), and π0Δ(f)\pi_0\Delta'(f) for Morse functions on 22-torus T2T^2.
