Abstract
Let be a closed surface. By we denote the group of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of and let denote the Mapping class group. In this paper we complete the proof of the conjecture of Thurston that says that for any closed surface of genus , there is no homomorphic section of the standard projection map .
