20 Three explicit Cs ➋ C for B 2g+2 (S 2 ) G = B 2g+2 (S 2 ) : the braid group of S 2 with 2g + 2 strands C := ( X, R, S), X := {x, x 2,..., x 2g+ }, R := { r (i, j) i j > } { r 2 (i) i =,..., 2g} { r 3 }, S := { l 0 (i) ± i =,..., 2g + } { l ± h r (i, j) := x i x j x i x j ( i j > ), r 2 (i) := x i x i+ x i x i+ x i x i+ (i =,..., 2g), r 3 := x x 2 x 2g+ x 2g+ x 2 x, l 0 (i) := x i (i =,..., 2g + ), l h := (x x 2 x 2h ) 4h+2 (h =,..., [g/2]). h =,..., [g/2]} B 2g+2 (S 2 ) = X R (Fadell Van Buskirk) Vertices of types l 0 (i) ±, r (i, j), r 2 (i), r 3, l h in C charts are similar to those of types l 0 (i) ±, r (i, j), r 2 (i), r 3, l h in C 0 charts March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 20/36

23 Charts and Hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations Γ : a Ĉ-chart in B with base point b 0 Γ : the set of black vertices of Γ ρ Γ : π (B Γ, b 0 ) H g : the homomorphism determined by Γ Propositon (Kamada E.) : (f, Φ) : hyperelliptic LF of genus g over B, g 2 ρ : π (B, b 0 ) H g : a monodromy representation of (f, Φ) = there exists a Ĉ-chart Γ which satisfies ρ Γ = ρ. Theorem (Kamada E.) : g 2 { hyperelliptic LFs (f, Φ) of genus g over B}/ = H : { monodromies ρ : π (B ) H g }/ equivalence for H g : { Ĉ-charts Γ }/ chart moves March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 23/36
24 An invariant w (f, Φ) : hyperelliptic LF of genus g over B ρ : π (B, b 0 ) H g : a monodromy representation of f ˆΓ : a Ĉ-chart in B which satisfies ρˆγ = ρ. Def. : w(ˆγ) : # of white vertices of type ˆr ± 4 included in ˆΓ mod 2 w(f, Φ) := w(ˆγ) Theorem (Kamada E.): w is invariant under chart moves for odd g Γ : a C 0 -chart in B with base point b 0 Def. : w(γ) : # of white vertices of type r ± 4 included in Γ mod 2 (f, Φ), ρ, ˆΓ : as above We can construct a C 0 -chart Γ by changing ˆΓ locally Γ corresponds to ρ 0 := π ρ : π (B, b 0 ) M 0,2g+2 w(γ) = w(ˆγ) in Z 2 March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 24/36
25 Examples Hurwitz system (for odd g) W := (ζ,..., ζ 2g+, ζ 2g+,..., ζ ) g+ W := (ζ,..., ζ 2g+ ) 2g+2 We obtain hyperelliptic LFs f, f of genus g over S 2 Both f and f have 2(g + )(2g + ) non-separating fibers, and they do not have separating fibers they have the same Euler characteristic and the same signature Drawing Ĉ-charts corresponding to f and f, we obtain w(f) = 0 and w(f ) = f and f are not isomorphic. By a theorem of Usher, the total spaces of f and f are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to each other. March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 25/36
26 5 Proof of invariance We will show the invariance of w for C 0 -charts. It is obvious that w is invariant under chart moves of conjugacy and orientation preserving diffeomorphisms It suffices to show the invariance under chart moves of type W and chart moves of transition Invariance under chart move of type W Prop. : w is invariant under chart moves of type W We need a lemma. March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 26/36
27 Lem. : For a C 0 -chart below, the box labeled T k can be filled only with edges and white vertices of types r (i, j) ±, r 2 (i) ±, r ± 3. 2g + k 2g + 2g + 2g + T k k 2g + 2g + Proof : The Dirac braid := (x x 2 x 2g+ ) 2g+2 is included in the center of of B 2g+2 (S 2 ) We can fill the box labeled T k with C-chart Change all labels x i of edges into ξ i to obtain a C 0 -chart March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 27/36
28 Proof of Prop. : It suffices to show that w(γ) = 0 for every C 0 -chart Γ in S 2 without black vertices. Consider the chart move of type W below k k 2g + 2g + 2g + r 4 2g + T k r 4 2g + 2g + k By Lemma, the box labeled T k can be filled only with edges and white vertices of types r (i, j) ±, r 2 (i) ±, r ± 3. March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 28/36
29 Use this move repeatedly to obtain Γ below from Γ Θ r ± 4 r ± 4 Γ Θ 2 r ε 4 r ε 4 Γ 2 Cancel pairs of white vertices of type r ± 4 to obtain Γ 2 from Γ n := # of white vertices of type r ε 4 in Γ 2 Θ 2 Γ 3 w Replace all white vertices of type r4 ε l 0 (i) ε to obtain Γ 3 from Γ 2 with black vertices of type the box labeled Θ, Θ 2 is filled only with edges and white vertices of types r (i, j) ±, r 2 (i) ±, r ± 3. March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 29/36
30 Change all labels ξ i of edges into x i to obtain a C-chart Γ 3 The intersection word w is εn = (x x 2 x 2g+ ) ε(2g+2)n, which represents of B 2g+2 (S 2 ) n must be even because represents an element of order two Thus we have w(γ) = w(γ ) = w(γ 2 ) = n = 0 and this completes the proof. March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 30/36
31 Invariance under chart move of transition Prop. : w is invariant under chart moves of transition if g is odd We divide chart moves of transition for C 0 -charts into two cases. ➊ s, s {l 0 (i) ± i =,..., 2g + } (l 0 (i) := ξ i ) ➋ s, s {l ± h h =,..., [g/2]} (l h := (ξ ξ 2 ξ 2h ) 4h+2 ) s s w s T w We will give a proof of Prop. only for Case ➋. The proof for Case ➊ is omitted. March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 3/36
32 Proof for Case ➋ : Assume s = s = (ξ ξ 2 ξ 2h ) 4h+2. φ := [w], τ h := [(ξ ξ 2 ξ 2h ) 4h+2 ] M 0,2g+2 a relation φτ h φ = τ h in M 0,2g+2 from the chart above pr : Σ g Σ g /I = S 2 : the projection a i := pr(c i ), b h := pr(s h ) F : S 2 S 2 : an orientation preserving diffeo. representing φ (b h )F is isotopic to b h We can assume F fixes b h pointwise because g is odd b h a a 2h a 2h+2 a 2g+ φ is represented by a word w in ξ ±,..., ξ± 2h, ξ± 2h+2,..., ξ± 2g+ March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 32/36
33 We divide the box labeled T into three boxes labeled T, Θ, Θ w w Θ w l 2 (h) T = l 2 (h) T w Θ w w The box labeled Θ is filled only with edges and white vertices The box labeled Θ is the mirror image of Θ Since w is a word in ξ ±,..., ξ± 2h, ξ± 2h+2,..., ξ± 2g+, the box labeled T is filled with copies of (a) and (b) below March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 33/36
34 Ω i+ Ω 2h Ω Ω 2 Ω i (a) 2h 2h 2h j j (b) 2h 2h 2h (a) corresponds to ξ i (i =,..., 2h) 2h k + k Ω k = k k 2 (b) corresponds to ξ j (j = 2h + 2,..., 2g + ) Ω k for k = 2,..., 2h is depicted above Ω is depicted below k k 2h k + k k k 2 March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 34/36
35 2h 2h 2h 2 2h Ω = 2h 2h 2 2h h 2h h 2h 2h 2 2h h 2h 2h The box labeled T is filled only with edges and white vertices of types r (i, j) ± and r 2 (i) ± March 20, 206, University of Tsukuba 35/36
36 # of white vertices of type r ± 4 included in the box labeled Θ is equal to that for the box labeled Θ The box labeled T is filled with edges, white vertices of types r (i, j) ±, r 2 (i) ±, r ± 3, and an even number of white vertices of types r ± 4 By virtue of the invariance under chart moves of type W, any subchart filling the box labeled T has this property We thus proved our main theorem.
