Abstract

Suppose S is a closed orientable surface and $${\tilde{S}}$$ is a finite sheeted regular cover of S. When studying mapping class groups, the following question arose: do the lifts of simple curves from S generate $$H_{1}({\tilde{S}},{\mathbb {Z}})$$ ? A family of examples is given for which the answer is “no”.
