Factoring periodic maps into Dehn twists
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let Mod(Sg) be the mapping class group of closed orientable surface Sg genus g?1. In this paper, we develop various methods for factoring periodic classes into Dehn twists, up to conjugacy. As applications, certain roots twists as words in twists. We will also show existence conjugates maps order 4g and 4g+2, g?2, whose product is pseudo-Anosov.

Exotic iterated Dehn twists
Consider cotangent bundles of exotic spheres, with their canonical symplectic structure. They admit automorphisms which preserve the part at infinity of one fibre, and which are analogous to the square of a Dehn twist. Pursuing that analogy, we show that they have infinite order up to isotopy (inside the group of all automorphisms with the same behaviour).
متن کاملDehn Twists and Invariant Classes
A degeneration of compact Kähler manifolds gives rise to a monodromy action on Betti moduli space H (X,G) = Hom(π1(X), G)/G over smooth fibres with a complex algebraic structure group G being either abelian or reductive. Assume that the singularities of the central fibre is of normal crossing. When G = C, the invariant cohomology classes arise from the global classes. This is no longer true in ...
متن کاملDehn Twists Have Linear Growth
In this note we give a simple proof that Dehn twists have linear growth with respect to the word metric on the mapping class group of an oriented surface of nite type (Theorem 1). This answers a question of Ivanov in 3]. A proof in the case of punctured surfaces was given by Mosher 6] using his techniques for constructing an automatic structure on the mapping class group. This result implies in...

متن کاملLagrangian spheres and Dehn twists
In this paper we answer a question raised in [8] as to whether, at least in a simple situation, symplectic Dehn twists provide the only method of constructing symplectically knotted Lagrangian spheres in a symplectic 4-manifold. We first recall the arrangement from [8]. Let W be the Stein manifold formed by adding to the unit cotangent bundle of the two-sphere, T S, a single 2-handle along the ...
