We derive two types of linearity conditions for mapping class groups of orientable surfaces: one for once-punctured surface, and the other for closed surface, respectively. For the once-punctured case, the condition is described in terms of…

Let $\Sigma$ be a surface with negative Euler characteristic, genus at least one and at most one boundary component. We prove that the skein algebra of $\Sigma$ over the field of rational functions can be algebraically generated by a finite…

We construct several families of embeddings of braid groups into mapping class groups of orientable and non-orientable surfaces and prove that they induce the trivial map in stable homology in the orientable case, but not so in the…

We give an infinite presentation for the mapping class group of a non-orientable surface with boundary components. The presentation is a generalization of the presentation given by the second author [15].

We prove that the mapping class group of the one-holed Cantor tree surface is acyclic. This in turn determines the homology of the mapping class group of the once-punctured Cantor tree surface (i.e. the plane minus a Cantor set), in…

We show that any isomorphism between mapping class groups of orientable infinite-type surfaces is induced by a homeomorphism between the surfaces. Our argument additionally applies to automorphisms between finite-index subgroups of these…

Unifying various constructions of quandles including Coxeter quandles, free quandles, knot quandles of prime knots and Dehn quandles of orientable surfaces, we introduce Dehn quandles of groups with respect to their subsets. It turns out…

We show that certain classes of graphs of free groups contain surface subgroups, including groups with positive $b_2$ obtained by doubling free groups along collections of subgroups, and groups obtained by "random" ascending HNN extensions…

We show that the closure of the compactly supported mapping class group of an infinite-type surface is not generated by the collection of multitwists (i.e. products of powers of twists about disjoint non-accumulating curves).

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

We show that the autoequivalence group of the derived category of any smooth projective toric surface is generated by the standard equivalences and spherical twists obtained from -2-curves. In many cases we give all relations between these…

We show that the pure mapping class group is uniformly perfect for a certain class of infinite type surfaces with noncompact boundary components. We then combine this result with recent work in the remaining cases to give a complete…

We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.

In this paper, we use a result of Dahmani to show that the Euler class of some power subgroup (the subgroup normally generated by a fixed power of Dehn twist about a non-separating curve) is trivial inside the mapping class group of once…

Mann and Rafi's seminal work initiated the study of the coarse geometry of big mapping class groups. Specifically, they construct coarsely bounded (CB) generating sets for mapping class groups of a large class of infinite-type surfaces. In…

We study injective homomorphisms between big mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces. First, we construct (uncountably many) examples of surfaces without boundary whose (pure) mapping class groups are not co-Hopfian; these are the…

The purpose of this note is to prove that the symplectic mapping class groups of many K3 surfaces are infinitely generated. Our proof makes no use of any Floer-theoretic machinery but instead follows the approach of Kronheimer and uses…

The mapping class group of a non-exceptional oriented surface of finite type admits a biautomatic structure.

We show that any pivotal Hopf monoid $H$ in a symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ gives rise to actions of mapping class groups of oriented surfaces of genus $g \geq 1$ with $n \geq 1$ boundary components. These mapping class group…

We define a family of groups that include the mapping class group of a genus g surface with one boundary component and the integral symplectic group Sp(2g,Z). We then prove that these groups are finitely generated. These groups, which we…
