چکیده
We develop an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the Torelli subgroup of AutpFnq. This builds on earlier work of the authors who studied an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the entire group AutpFnq. These results play an important role in the authors’ recent work on the second homology group of the Torelli group.

متن کاملOn the second homology group of the Torelli subgroup of AutpFnq
Let IAn be the Torelli subgroup of AutpFnq. We give an explicit finite set of generators for H2pIAnq as a GLnpZq-module. Corollaries include a version of surjective representation stability for H2pIAnq, the vanishing of the GLnpZq-coinvariants of H2pIAnq, and the vanishing of the second rational homology group of the level l congruence subgroup of AutpFnq. Our generating set is derived from a n...
متن کاملA Birman exact sequence for AutpFnq
The Birman exact sequence describes the effect on the mapping class group of a surface with boundary of gluing discs to the boundary components. We construct an analogous exact sequence for the automorphism group of a free group. For the mapping class group, the kernel of the Birman exact sequence is a surface braid group. We prove that in the context of the automorphism group of a free group, ...
متن کاملCutting and pasting in the Torelli group
We introduce machinery to allow “cut-and-paste”-style inductive arguments in the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group. In the past these arguments have been problematic because restricting the Torelli group to subsurfaces gives different groups depending on how the subsurfaces are embedded. We define a category TSur whose objects are surfaces together with a decoration restricting how th...
