Classifying Spaces for Proper Actions of Mapping Class Groups

چکیده
We describe a construction of cocompact models for the classifying spaces EΓ g,r , where Γ g,r stands for the mapping class group of an oriented surface of genus g with r boundary components and s punctures. Our construction uses a cocompact model for EΓ g,0 as an input, a case which has been dealt with in [3]. We then proceed by induction on r and s.

A 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...
متن کاملFrom Mapping Class Groups to Automorphism Groups of Free Groups
It is shown that the natural map from the mapping class groups of surfaces to the automorphism groups of free groups induces an infinite loop map on the classifying spaces of the stable groups after plus construction. The proof uses automorphisms of free groups with boundaries which play the role of mapping class groups of surfaces with several boundary components.
متن کامل$C$-class functions on common fixed point theorems for weak contraction mapping of integral type in modular spaces
In this paper, we use the concept of $C$-class functions introduced by Ansari [4] to prove the existence and uniqueness of common fixed point for self-mappings in modular spaces of integral inequality. Our results extended and generalized previous known results in this direction.
متن کاملRational Computations of the Topological K-Theory of Classifying Spaces of Discrete Groups
We compute rationally the topological (complex) K-theory of the classifying space BG of a discrete group provided that G has a cocompact G-CW -model for its classifying space for proper G-actions. For instance word-hyperbolic groups and cocompact discrete subgroups of connected Lie groups satisfy this assumption. The answer is given in terms of the group cohomology of G and of the centralizers ...
متن کاملSome Examples of Discrete Group Actions on Aspherical Manifolds
We construct two classes of examples of a virtually torsionfree group G acting properly and cocompactly on a contractible manifold X. In the first class of examples the universal space for proper actions, EG, has no model with finitely many orbits of cells. The reason is that the centralizers of certain finite subgroups of G will not have finitetype classifying spaces. In the second class of ex...
