Abstract
In this article, we construct a new simplicial complex for infinite-type surfaces, which we call the grand arc graph. We show that if the end space of a surface has at least three different self-similar equivalence classes of maximal ends, then the grand arc graph is infinite-diameter and -hyperbolic. In this case, we also show that the mapping class group acts on the grand arc graph by isometries and acts on the visible boundary continuously. When the surface has stable maximal ends, we also show that this action has finitely many orbits.
