Some examples of separable convex-cocompact subgroups

Group Theory 2023-03-27 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

Reid asked whether all convex-cocompact subgroups of mapping class groups are separable. Using a construction of Manning-Mj-Sageev, we give examples of separable convex-cocompact subgroups that are free of arbitrary finite rank, while prior examples seem to all be virtually cyclic.
