A Remark on the Bers Type of Some Self-Maps of Riemann Surfaces with Two Specified Points

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Second ISAAC Congress

Abstract

Let S be a Riemann surface of analytically finite type (g, n) with 2g -2+n > 0. Take two points p1, p2 ∈ S, and set S p 1, p2 = S \ {p1, p2}. Let Homeo+ (S;p1, p2) be the group of all orientation preserving homeomorphisms ω: SS fixing p1, p2 and isotopic to the identity on S. Denote by Home +0 (S;p1, p2) the set of all elements of Homeo+(S;p1, p2) isotopic to the identity on S p 1,p2. Then Home +0 (S;p1, p2) is a normal subgroup of Homeo+ (S;p1, p2). We set Isot(S;p1, p2) = Homeo+(S;p1, p2)/ Home +0 (S;p1, p2).
