Extract

Let X be a closed surface, i.e. a compact connected 2-manifold without boundary. If Gx denotes the group of all homeomorphisms of X to itself, and Nx is the normal subgroup consisting of homeomorphisms which are isotopic to the identity, then the quotient group Gx/Nx is called the homeotopy group of X and is denoted by ∧x.
