Abstract

We prove that each superinjective simplicial map of the complex of curves of
a compact, connected, nonorientable surface is induced by a homeomorphism of
the surface, if g+n is at most 3 or g+n is at least 5, where g is the genus of
the surface and n is the number of the boundary components.
