INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMÜLLER THEORY I 133<br />

Definition 6.4. In the following, we shall write l ± def<br />

= l +1=(l +1)/2.<br />

(i) We define a base-Θ ± -bridge, orD-Θ ± -bridge, [relative to the given initial<br />

Θ-data] to be a poly-morphism<br />

† D ≻<br />

—where † D ≻ is a D-prime-strip; T is an F ± l -group; † D T = { † D t } t∈T is a capsule<br />

<strong>of</strong> D-prime-strips, indexed by [the underlying set <strong>of</strong>] T — such that there exist<br />

isomorphisms<br />

isomorphism determine an isomorphism <strong>of</strong> F ± l<br />

-groups — conjugation by which maps<br />

± . In this situation, we shall write<br />

† D |T |<br />

for the l ± -capsule obtained from the l-capsule † D T by forming the quotient |T | <strong>of</strong><br />

the index set T <strong>of</strong> this underlying capsule by the action <strong>of</strong> {±1} and identifying<br />

the components <strong>of</strong> the capsule † D T indexed by the elements in the fibers <strong>of</strong> the<br />

quotient T ↠ |T | via the constituent poly-morphisms <strong>of</strong> † φ Θ±<br />

± = { † φ Θ±<br />

t } t∈Fl [so<br />

each consitutent D-prime-strip <strong>of</strong> † D |T | is only well-defined up to a positive automorphism,<br />

but this indeterminacy will not affect applications <strong>of</strong> this construction<br />

— cf. Propositions 6.7; 6.8, (ii); 6.9, (i), below]. Also, we shall write<br />

† D T <br />

for the l -capsule determined by the subset T def<br />

= |T |\{0} <strong>of</strong> nonzero elements <strong>of</strong><br />

|T |. We define a(n) [iso]morphism <strong>of</strong> D-Θ ± -bridges<br />

to be a pair <strong>of</strong> poly-morphisms<br />

—where † ∼<br />

D T → ‡ D T ′ is a capsule-+-full poly-isomorphism whose induced morphism<br />

on index sets T → ∼ T ′ is an isomorphism <strong>of</strong> F ± l -groups; † ∼<br />

D ≻ → ‡ D ≻ is a<br />

+-full poly-isomorphism — which are compatible with † φ Θ±<br />

evident notion <strong>of</strong> composition <strong>of</strong> morphisms <strong>of</strong> D-Θ ± -bridges.<br />

(ii) We define a base-Θ ell -bridge [i.e., a “base-Θ-elliptic-bridge”], or D-Θ ell -<br />

bridge, [relative to the given initial Θ-data] to be a poly-morphism<br />

is a capsule <strong>of</strong> D-prime-strips, indexed by [the underlying set <strong>of</strong>] T — such that<br />

there exist isomorphisms<br />
