Abstract
Given a closed, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic, we study two automorphism groups: and , groups of homeomorphisms that preserve the intersection form in the space of geodesic currents and the space of measured laminations. We prove that except in a few special cases, is isomorphic to the extended mapping class group. This theorem is a special case of \textit{Ivanov's meta-conjecture}. We investigate this question for . To demonstrate the difficulty in proving Ivanov's conjecture for , we construct infinite family of pairs of closed curves that have the simple same marked length spectra and self intersection number.
