Abstract

Call a periodic map hh on the closed orientable surface Σg\Sigma_g extendable if hh extends to a periodic map over the pair (S3,Σg)(S^3, \Sigma_g) for possible embeddings e:ΣgS3e: \Sigma_g\to S^3. We determine the extendabilities for all periodical maps on Σ2\Sigma_2. The results involve various orientation preserving/reversing behalves of the periodical maps on the pair (S3,Σg)(S^3, \Sigma_g). To do this we first list all periodic maps on Σ2\Sigma_2, and indeed we exhibit each of them as a composition of primary and explicit symmetries, like rotations, reflections and antipodal maps, which itself should be an interesting piece. A by-product is that for each even gg, the maximum order periodic map on Σg\Sigma_g is extendable, which contrasts sharply to the situation in orientation preserving category.
