Abstract

Let Ng,nN_{g,n} be a genus gg compact non-orientable surface with nn boundaries. We explain about relations on the level dd mapping class group Md(Ng,0)\mathcal{M}_d(N_{g,0}) of Ng,0N_{g,0} and the level dd principal congruence subgroup Γd(g1)\Gamma_d(g-1) of SL(g1;Z)\mathrm{SL}(g-1;\mathbb{Z}). As applications, we give a normal generating set of Md(Ng,n)\mathcal{M}_d(N_{g,n}) for g4g\ge4 and n0n\ge0, and finite generating sets of Md(Ng,n)\mathcal{M}_d(N_{g,n}) for some dd, any g4g\ge4 and n0n\ge0.
