Curve Complexes and Finite Index Subgroups of Mapping Class Groups

چکیده
Let Mod(S) be the extended mapping class group of a surface S. For S the twice-punctured torus, we show that there exists an isomorphism of finite index subgroups of Mod(S) which is not the restriction of any inner automorphism. For S a torus with at least three punctures, we show that every injection of a finite index subgroup of Mod(S) into Mod(S) is the restriction of an inner automorphism of Mod(S); this completes a program begun by Irmak. We also establish the co-Hopf property for finite index subgroups of Mod(S). Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). Primary: 57M99; secondary: 20F38.

Groups with one conjugacy class of non-normal subgroups - a short proof
For a finite group $G$ let $nu(G)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $G$. We give a short proof of a theorem of Brandl, which classifies finite groups with $nu(G)=1$.
متن کاملCurve complexes versus Tits buildings: structures and applications
Tits buildings ∆Q(G) of linear algebraic groups G defined over the field of rational numbers Q have played an important role in understanding partial compactifications of symmetric spaces and compactifications of locally symmetric spaces, cohomological properties of arithmetic subgroups and S-arithmetic subgroups of G(Q). Curve complexes C(Sg,n) of surfaces Sg,n were introduced to parametrize b...
متن کاملFinite index subgroups of mapping class groups
Let g ≥ 3 and n ≥ 0, and let Mg,n be the mapping class group of a surface of genus g with n boundary components. We prove that Mg,n contains a unique subgroup of index 2g−1(2g − 1) up to conjugation, a unique subgroup of index 2g−1(2g + 1) up to conjugation, and the other proper subgroups ofMg,n are of index greater than 2g−1(2g+1). In particular, the minimum index for a proper subgroup of Mg,n...
متن کاملOn rational groups with Sylow 2-subgroups of nilpotency class at most 2
A finite group $G$ is called rational if all its irreducible complex characters are rational valued. In this paper we discuss about rational groups with Sylow 2-subgroups of nilpotency class at most 2 by imposing the solvability and nonsolvability assumption on $G$ and also via nilpotency and nonnilpotency assumption of $G$.
متن کاملMapping Class Subgroups of Out(f N )
We construct a covering of Culler-Vogtmann Outer space by the Teichmüller spaces of punctured surfaces. By considering the equivariant homology for the action of Out(Fn) on this covering, we construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of Out(Fn) that has E terms given by the homology of mapping class groups and groups that are, up to finite index, subgroups of mapping class groups....
