The pants graph as a combinatorial model for the Teichmüller space of a non-orientable surface

Michał Stukow, Błażej Szepietowski, Jakub Szmelter-Tomczuk

We study the relation between the pants graph of a non-orientable surface and that of its orientable double cover. Given a non-orientable surface with orientable double cover $…
