Authors’ abstract: We consider holomorphic families of Riemann surfaces which are constructed from Kōdaira surfaces. Our chief interest is to classify elements of the monodromy group of such a holomorphic family of Riemann surfaces, i.e., surface automorphisms $$f_C$$ on a fiber induced under the deformation of markings along closed curves $$C$$ of the base surface. We will show that the Nielsen-Thurston-Bers type of $$f_C$$ is described in terms of $$C$$. The problem considered, and the form of the solution are suggested by Kra’s beautiful theorem on the classification of some self-maps of Riemann surfaces. In this note, we report results on the case of an example of a Kōdaira surface due to Riera. Proofs will appear elsewhere.
