Birman–Hilden Property of Covering Spaces for Nonorientable Surfaces

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Let p : \( \tilde{N}\to N \) be a finite covering space for nonorientable surfaces, where \( \upchi \left(\tilde{N}\right)<0 \). We study whether or not p has the Birman–Hilden property.
