空间X的同伦群Λx是X到自身的所有同胚的群,模那些同胚的子群是单位元的同位素。本文将X看作是一个闭的定向2-流形,并具有一个多面体结构,然后将Λx的定义限制在考虑分段线性同胚和合痕的情况下。虽然对多面体范畴的这种限制对下面的讨论并不是真正必要的,但它确实倾向于简化一些论证。在(2)中,X的同胚以下列方式与X中的每一条简单闭(多面体)曲线c相关联。首先,设A是欧氏平面中的一个环,由(r,θ)参数化,其中1 ≤ r ≤ 2,θ是一个模2 π的真实的数。我们定义了一个同胚H:A → A by H则固定在A的边界上。如果现在e:A → X是一个方向保持嵌入,并且eA是c在X中的邻域,则eHe−1| eA可以通过X-eA上的恒等式扩展为同胚h:X → X。任何与h同素的分段线性同胚hc称为关于c的扭,或者如果c不指定,则称为扭。
The homeotopy group Λx of a space X is the group of all homeomorphisms of X to itself, modulo the subgroup of those homeomorphisms that are isotopic to the identity. In this paper X will be taken to be a closed oriented 2-manifold, together with a polyhedral structure, and the definition of Λx is then restricted to the consideration of piecewise-linear homeomorphisms and isotopies. Although this restriction to the polyhedral category is not really essential to what follows, it does tend to simplify some of the arguments. In (2) a homeomorphism of X was associated with every simple closed (polyhedral) curve c in X in the following way. First, let A be an annulus in the Euclidean plane parametrized by (r, θ) where 1 ≤ r ≤ 2 and θ is a real number mod 2 π. We define a homeomorphism H: A → A by H is then fixed on the boundary of A. If now e: A → X is an orientation-preserving embedding, and eA is a neighbourhood of c in X, then eHe−1|eA can be extended by the identity on X − eA to a homeomorphism h:X → X. Any piecewise linear homeomorphism hc which is isotopic to h will be called a twist about c or, if c is not specified, just a twist.
