Degree one cohomology with twisted coefficients of the mapping class group

Differential Geometry 2016-03-28 v1

Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be the mapping class group of an oriented surface Σ\Sigma of genus g with r boundary components. We prove that the first cohomology group H1(Γ,O(MSL(2,C)))H^1(\Gamma, O(M_{SL(2, C)})^*) is non-trivial, where the coefficient module is the dual of the space of algebraic functions on the SL(2,C)SL(2, C) moduli space over Σ\Sigma.
