Abstract

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components and $C (N)$ be the complex of curves of $N$ . Suppose that $g + n \leq 3$ or $g + n \geq 5$ . If $λ : C (N) \to C (N)$ is an injective simplicial map, then $λ$ is induced by a homeomorphism of $N$ . If $(g, n) \neq (1, 2)$ and $λ : C (N) \to C (N)$ is a simplicial map that satisfies the connectivity property, then $λ$ is induced by a homeomorphism of $N$ .
