1 Periodic homeomorphisms on surfaces and singular points of curves (Susumu Hirose) Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science and Engineering Saga University 1. Introduction Figure 1 Dehn [7] showed that mapping class groups of closed orientable surfaces are generated by Dehn twists illustrated in the left hand of Figure 1 (precisely saying, a twist illustrated is called a right handed Dehn twist), Lickorish [15] reduced the number of generators and Humphries [13] showed that Dehn twists about the circles shown in the right hand side of Figure 1 generate the mapping class group M 3 of Σ 3, a closed oriented surface of genus 3. By the symbol k, we also mean the right handed Dehn twist about the curve indicated by k. Let φ be an element of M 3 defined by: φ = , where i j means apply i first then apply j. By using Teruaki for Mathematica (T4M), implemented by K. Ahara (Meiji Univ.) and T. Sakasai (Univ. of Tokyo), we can check the action of φ on the simple closed curves shown in Figure 1 and see that φ 12 brings these simple closed curves back to their original position (off course, up to isotopy). This means that φ 12 commutes with the Dehn twists about these simple closed curves, so, by the above mentioned result of Humphries, φ 12 commutes with any elements of M 3. Powell [18] showed that, if g 3, M g is centerless, i.e. the element of M g which commutes with any elements of M g should be id Σg. Therefore, φ 12 = id Σ3. In this note, we will introduce a method to find a word of Dehn twists, which represent periodic map. 1
