Expanding their studies, we consider the spaces of real monic univariate polynomials of degree d whose real divisors avoid sequences of root multiplicities taken from a given poset of compositions which is closed under certain natural combinatorial operations. In this paper, we concentrate on the fundamental group of such spaces. We find explicit presentations for the fundamental groups in terms of generators and relations and show that in a number of cases they are free with rank bounded from above by a quadratic function in d. We also show that the fundamental group stabilizes for d large. We further show that the fundamental groups admit an interpretation as special bordisms of immersions of 1-manifolds into the cylinder S^1 times R, whose images avoid the tangency patterns from the poset with respect to the generators of the cylinder.","PeriodicalId":49151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Topology and Analysis","volume":"10 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions under which a given pseudo-periodic mapping can be a root of another up to conjugacy. Using this characterization, the canonical decomposition of (non-periodic) mapping classes, and some known algorithms, we give a theoretical algorithm for computing its roots up to conjugacy. Furthermore, we derive realizable bounds on the degrees of roots of pseudo-periodic mapping classes in $text{Mod}(S_g)$, the Torelli group, the level-$m$ subgroup of $text{Mod}(S_g)$, and the commutator subgroup of $text{Mod}(S_2)$. In particular, we show that the highest possible (realizable) degree of a root of a pseudo-periodic mapping class $F$ is $3q(F)(g+1)(g+2)$, realized by the roots of $T_c^{q(F)}$, where $c$ is a separating curve in $S_g$ of genus $[g/2]$ and $q(F)$ is a unique positive integer associated with the conjugacy class of $F$. Finally, for $ggeq 3$ we show that any pseudo-periodic having a nontrivial periodic component that is not the hyperelliptic involution, normally generates $text{Mod}(S_g)$. Consequently, we establish there always exist roots of bounding pair maps and powers of Dehn twists that normally generate $text{Mod}(S_g)$.","PeriodicalId":49151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Topology and Analysis","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
