%0 Journal Article %T Regular homotopic deformation of compact surface with boundary and mapping class group %A Susumu Hirose %A Akira Yasuhara %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X A necessary and sufficient algebraic condition for a diffeomorphism over a surface embedded in the 3-sphere to be induced by a regular homotopic deformation is discussed, and a formula for the number of signed pass moves needed for this regular homotopy is given. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.0340v1
