Edge-preserving maps of the nonseparating curve graphs, curve graphs and rectangle preserving maps of the Hatcher–Thurston graphs
Let [Formula: see text] be a compact, connected, orientable surface of genus [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] boundary components with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the nonseparating curve graph, [Formula: see text] be the curve graph and [Formula: see text] be the Hatcher–Thurston graph of [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is an edge-preserving map, then [Formula: see text] is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is an edge-preserving map, then [Formula: see text] is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is closed and [Formula: see text] is a rectangle preserving map, then [Formula: see text] is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text]. We also prove that these homeomorphisms are unique up to isotopy when [Formula: see text].
