Mapping class groupoids and Thompson's groups

Abstract

We introduce a groupoid {\mathbf{\Pi MG}}}, called the fundamental modular groupoid, which is a variant of Penner's mapping class groupoid. We study how it relates to the surface mapping class groups and Thompson's group T\mathsf T. We also introduce larger groupoid ΩMG\mathbf{\Omega MG}, which is related to outer automorphisms of free groups and Thompson's group V\mathsf V in a similar manner.
