Unstable maps

A map which is non-orientable or has non-empty boundary has a canonical double cover which is orientable and has empty boundary. The map is called stable if every automorphism of this cover is a lift of an automorphism of the map. This note describes several infinite families of unstable maps, and relates them to similar phenomena for graphs, hypermaps and Klein surfaces.

Abstract

A map which is non-orientable or has non-empty boundary has a canonical double cover which is orientable and has empty boundary. The map is called stable if every automorphism of this cover is a lift of an automorphism of the map. This note describes several infinite families of unstable maps, and relates them to similar phenomena for graphs, hypermaps and Klein surfaces.
