Problems on Mapping Class Groups and Related Topics
نویسنده
چکیده
The action of the mapping class group of a surface on the collection of homotopy classes of disjointly embedded curves or arcs in the surface is discussed here as a tool for understanding Riemann’s moduli space and its topological and geometric invariants. Furthermore, appropriate completions, elaborations, or quotients of the set of all such homotopy classes of curves or arcs give for instance Thurston’s boundary for Teichmüller space or a combinatorial description of moduli space in terms of fatgraphs. Related open problems and questions are discussed.

متن کاملnth-roots and n-centrality of finite 2-generator p-groups of nilpotency class 2
Here we consider all finite non-abelian 2-generator $p$-groups ($p$ an odd prime) of nilpotency class two and study the probability of having $n^{th}$-roots of them. Also we find integers $n$ for which, these groups are $n$-central.
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
متن کاملComparison of effect of kwl educational strategy and concept mapping strategy on students’ critical thinking
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of KWL educational strategy and conceptual mapping strategy on students' critical thinking. Methodology: This research was based on a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with two experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population consisted of all male students of the third grade high school of Mian...
متن کاملA tale of two groups: arithmetic groups and mapping class groups
In this chapter, we discuss similarities, differences and interaction between two natural and important classes of groups: arithmetic subgroups Γ of Lie groups G and mapping class groups Modg,n of surfaces of genus g with n punctures. We also mention similar properties and problems for related groups such as outer automorphism groups Out(Fn), Coxeter groups and hyperbolic groups. Since groups a...
