In this paper, we describe multicurves in <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>N</mi><mrow><mi>g</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> making use of generalized Dynnikov coordinates, and give explicit formulae for the action of crosscap transpositions and their inverses on the set of multicurves in <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>N</mi><mrow><mi>g</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> in terms of generalized Dynnikov coordinates. This provides a way to solve on non-orientable surfaces various dynamical and combinatorial problems that arise in the study of mapping class groups and Thurston’s theory of surface homeomorphisms, which were solved only on orientable surfaces before. |
