Abstract An automorphism $f$ of a closed orientable surface $\Sigma $ is said to be extendable over the 3-sphere $S^3$ if $f$ extends to an automorphism of the pair $(S^3, \Sigma )$ with respect to some embedding $\Sigma \hookrightarrow S^3$. We prove that if an automorphism of a genus-2 surface $\Sigma $ is extendable over $S^3$, then $f$ extends to an automorphism of the pair $(S^3, \Sigma )$ with respect to an embedding $\Sigma \hookrightarrow S^3$ such that $\Sigma $ bounds genus-2 handlebodies on both sides. The classification of essential annuli in the exterior of genus-2 handlebodies embedded in $S^3$ due to Ozawa, and the second author plays a key role.

Abstract. In this paper, we find all admissible topological conjugacy classes of periodic transformations of a two-dimensional surface of genus two. It is proved that there are exactly seventeen pairwise topologically non-conjugate orientation-preserving periodic pretzel transformations. The implementation of all classes by lifting the full characteristics of mappings from a modular surface to a surface of genus two is also presented. The classification results are based on Nielsen’s theory of periodic surface transformations, according to which the topological conjugacy class of any such homeomorphism is completely determined by its characteristic. The complete characteristic carries information about the genus of the modular surface, the ramified bearing surface, the periods of the ramification points and the turns around them. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the admissibility of the complete characteristic are described by Nielsen and for any surface they give a finite number of admissible collections. For surfaces of a small genus, one can compile a complete list of admissible characteristics, which was done by the authors of the work for a surface of genus 2.

The object of this note is to study the regular coverings of the closed orientable surface of genus 2.Let the closed orientable surfaceFhof genushbe a covering ofF2and letand f be the fundamental groups respectively. Thenis a subgroup of f of indexn = h − 1. A covering is called regular ifis normal in f.Conversely, letbe a normal subgroup of f of finite index. Then there is a uniquely determined regular coveringFhsuch thatis the fundamental group ofFh. The coveringFhis an orientable surface. Since the indexnofin f is supposed to be finite,Fhis closed, and its genus is given byn=h − 1.The fundamental group f can be defined by.

AbstractLet $C$ be a curve in a closed orientable surface $F$ of genus $g\geq 2$ that separates $F$ into subsurfaces $\widetilde {{F}_{i} } $ of genera ${g}_{i} $, for $i= 1, 2$. We study the set of roots in $\mathrm{Mod} (F)$ of the Dehn twist ${t}_{C} $ about $C$. All roots arise from pairs of ${C}_{{n}_{i} } $-actions on the $\widetilde {{F}_{i} } $, where $n= \mathrm{lcm} ({n}_{1} , {n}_{2} )$ is the degree of the root, that satisfy a certain compatibility condition. The ${C}_{{n}_{i} } $-actions are of a kind that we call nestled actions, and we classify them using tuples that we call data sets. The compatibility condition can be expressed by a simple formula, allowing a classification of all roots of ${t}_{C} $ by compatible pairs of data sets. We use these data set pairs to classify all roots for $g= 2$ and $g= 3$. We show that there is always a root of degree at least $2{g}^{2} + 2g$, while $n\leq 4{g}^{2} + 2g$. We also give some additional applications.

Historical note. A non-orientable surface of genus 2 (meaning 2 cross-caps) is popularly known as the Klein bottle. However, the term Klein surface comes from Felix Klein's book “On Riemann's Theory of Algebraic Functions and their Integrals” (1882) where he introduced such surfaces in the final chapter.

Abstract The closure of a braid in a closed orientable surface Ʃ is a link in Ʃ × S1. We classify such closed surface braids up to isotopy and homeomorphism (with a small indeterminacy for isotopy of closed sphere braids), algebraically in terms of the surface braid group. We find that in positive genus, braids close to isotopic links if and only if they are conjugate, and close to homeomorphic links if and only if they are in the same orbit of the outer action of the mapping class group on the surface braid group modulo its centre.

Abstract We show that if ϕ is a homeomorphism of a closed, orientable surface of genus g, and ϕ has large translation distance in the curve complex, then the fundamental group of the mapping torus {M_{\phi}} has rank {2g+1} .

In this comprehensive study of Kitaev’s abelian models defined on a graph embedded on a closed orientable surface, we provide complete proofs of the topological ground state degeneracy, the absence of local order parameters, compute the entanglement entropy exactly and characterize the elementary anyonic excitations. The homology and cohomology groups of the cell complex play a central role and allow for a rigorous understanding of the relations between the above characterizations of topological order.

We show that a topologically locally flat embedding of a closed orientable surface in the 4-sphere is isotopic to one whose image lies in the equatorial 3-sphere if and only if its exterior has an infinite cyclic fundamental group.
