Involution Generators of the Big Mapping Class Group

Geometric Topology 2023-08-10 v2

Abstract

Let S = S(n) denote the infinite surface with n ends, n \in N, accumulated by genus. For n \geq 6, we show that the mapping class group of S is topologically generated by five involutions. When n \geq 3, it is topologically generated by six involutions.
