  • generating the mapping class group of a Nonorientable Surface by three torsions
    arXiv: Geometric Topology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Marta Leśniak, Blazej Szepietowski
    Abstract:

    We prove that the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_g)$ of a closed Nonorientable Surface of genus $g$ different than 4 is generated by three torsion elements. Moreover, for every even integer $k\ge 12$ and $g$ of the form $g=pk+2q(k-1)$ or $g=pk+2q(k-1)+1$, where $p,q$ are non-negative integers and $p$ is odd, $\mathcal{M}(N_g)$ is generated by three conjugate elements of order $k$. Analogous results are proved for the subgroup of $\mathcal{M}(N_g)$ generated by Dehn twists.

  • generating the mapping class group of a Nonorientable Surface by crosscap transpositions
    Topology and its Applications, 2017
    Co-Authors: Marta Leśniak, Blazej Szepietowski
    Abstract:

    Abstract A crosscap transposition is an element of the mapping class group of a Nonorientable Surface represented by a homeomorphism supported on a one-holed Klein bottle and swapping two crosscaps. We prove that the mapping class group of a compact Nonorientable Surface of genus g ≥ 7 is generated by conjugates of one crosscap transposition. In the case when the Surface is either closed or has one boundary component, we give an explicit set of g + 2 crosscap transpositions generating the mapping class group.

  • Automorphisms of the mapping class group of a Nonorientable Surface
    Geometriae Dedicata, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ferihe Atalan, Blazej Szepietowski
    Abstract:

    Let S be a Nonorientable Surface of genus $$g\ge 5$$ g ≥ 5 with $$n\ge 0$$ n ≥ 0 punctures, and $$\mathrm {Mod}(S)$$ Mod ( S ) its mapping class group. We define the complexity of S to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $$\mathrm {Mod}(S)$$ Mod ( S ) . Suppose that $$S_1$$ S 1 and $$S_2$$ S 2 are two such Surfaces of the same complexity. We prove that every isomorphism $$\mathrm {Mod}(S_1)\rightarrow \mathrm {Mod}(S_2)$$ Mod ( S 1 ) → Mod ( S 2 ) is induced by a diffeomorphism $$S_1\rightarrow S_2$$ S 1 → S 2 . This is an analogue of Ivanov’s theorem on automorphisms of the mapping class groups of an orientable Surface, and also an extension and improvement of the first author’s previous result.

  • on finite index subgroups of the mapping class group of a Nonorientable Surface
    Glasnik Matematicki, 2014
    Co-Authors: Blazej Szepietowski
    Abstract:

    Let $M(N_{h,n})$ denote the mapping class group of a compact Nonorientable Surface of genus $h\ge 7$ and $n\le 1$ boundary components, and let $T(N_{h,n})$ be the subgroup of $M(N_{h,n})$ generated by all Dehn twists. It is known that $T(N_{h,n})$ is the unique subgroup of $M(N_{h,n})$ of index $2$. We prove that $T(N_{h,n})$ (and also $M(N_{h,n})$) contains a unique subgroup of index $2^{g-1}(2^g-1)$ up to conjugation, and a unique subgroup of index $2^{g-1}(2^g+1)$ up to conjugation, where $g=\lfloor(h-1)/2\rfloor$. The other proper subgroups of $T(N_{h,n})$ and $M(N_{h,n})$ have index greater than $2^{g-1}(2^g+1)$. In particular, the minimum index of a proper subgroup of $T(N_{h,n})$ is $2^{g-1}(2^g-1)$.

  • Minimal pseudo-Anosov stretch factors on nonoriented Surfaces
    2020
    Co-Authors: Liechti Livio, Strenner Balázs
    Abstract:

    We determine the smallest stretch factor among pseudo-Anosov maps with an orientable invariant foliation on the closed Nonorientable Surfaces of genus 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. We also determine the smallest stretch factor of an orientation-reversing pseudo-Anosov map with orientable invariant foliations on the closed orientable Surfaces of genus 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. As a byproduct, we obtain that the stretch factor of a pseudo-Anosov map on a Nonorientable Surface or an orientation-reversing pseudo-Anosov map on an orientable Surface does not have Galois conjugates on the unit circle. This shows that the techniques that were used to disprove Penner’s conjecture on orientable Surfaces are ineffective in the Nonorientable cases
