Elmas Irmak, University of Michigan, Simplicial Maps of Complexes of Curves and Mapping Class Groups of Surfaces
SAS 4201I will talk about recent developments on simplicial maps of complexes of curves on both orientable and nonorientable surfaces. I will also talk about joint work with Prof. Luis Paris. We prove that on a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus at least 5, any superinjective simplicial map from the two-sided curve complex to itself is induced…
