چکیده
We prove that the mapping class group of a closed connected orientable surface genus $$g\ge 6$$ is generated by two elements order g. Moreover, for 7$$ , we obtain generating set elements, g and $$g'$$ where least divisor greater than 2. also $$g/\gcd (g,k)$$ 3k^2+4k+1$$ any positive integer k.

Generating the Surface Mapping Class Group by Two Elements
Wajnryb proved in [W2] that the mapping class group of an orientable surface is generated by two elements. We prove that one of these generators can be taken as a Dehn twist. We also prove that the extended mapping class group is generated by two elements, again one of which is a Dehn twist.
متن کامل0 Torsion Elements in the Mapping Class Group of a Surface
Given a finite set of r points in a closed surface of genus g, we consider the torsion elements in the mapping class group of the surface leaving the finite set invariant. We show that the torsion elements generate the mapping class group if and only if (g, r) = (2, 5k + 4) for some integer k. §1. Introduction 1.1. The purpose of this paper is to investigate when the mapping class group of a co...
متن کاملGenerating Mapping Class Groups by Involutions
Let Σg,b denote a closed oriented surface genus g with b punctures and let Modg,b denote its mapping class group. In [10] Luo proved that if the genus is at least 3, the group Modg,b is generated by involutions. He also asked if there exists a universal upper bound, independent of genus and the number of punctures, for the number of torsion elements/involutions needed to generate Modg,b. Brendl...

Let Σg,b denote a closed orientable surface of genus g with b punctures and let Mod(Σg,b) denote its mapping class group. In [Luo] Luo proved that if the genus is at least 3, Mod(Σg,b) is generated by involutions. He also asked if there exists a universal upper bound, independent of genus and the number of punctures, for the number of torsion elements/involutions needed to generate Mod(Σg,b). B...
متن کاملThe Mapping Class Group of a Punctured Surface Is Generated by Three Elements
Let Σg,p be a closed oriented surface of genus g ≥ 1 with p punctures. Let Mod(Σg,p) be the mapping class group of Σg,p. Wajnryb proved in [Wa] that for p = 0, 1 Mod(Σg,p) is generated by two elements. Korkmaz proved in [Ko] that one of these generators can be taken as a Dehn twist. For p ≥ 2, We proved that Mod(Σg,p) is generated by three elements.
