Conjecture on morphisms from punctured-surface homeomorphism groups

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let SS be a closed surface, let DD be an open disc in SS, and write S−DS-D for the surface obtained by removing DD. Let Homeo0(S−D)\mathrm{Homeo}_{0}(S-D) be the identity component of the group of homeomorphisms of S−DS-D whose support is contained in the interior of S−DS-D. The punctured-surface morphism conjecture. Every group morphism

Homeo0(S−D)⟶Homeo0(S)\mathrm{Homeo}_{0}(S-D)\longrightarrow\mathrm{Homeo}_{0}(S)

is induced by an inclusion of S−DS-D in SS. The conjecture concerns the rigidity of morphisms between homeomorphism groups of surfaces and is presented as an attainable problem; no resolution is given in the source.
