Homeomorphism groups of 2-manifolds with the virtual Rokhlin property

Geometric Topology 2024-06-25 v3 Dynamical Systems Group Theory

Abstract

We introduce and motivate the definition of the virtual Rokhlin property for topological groups. We then classify the 2-manifolds whose homeomorphism groups have the virtual Rokhlin property. We also establish the analogous result for mapping class groups of 2-manifolds.
