| Action of the mapping class group on a complex of curves and a presentation for the mapping class group of a surface (2000) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| S. Gervais gave a finite presentation for the mapping class group of a surface (math.GT/9811162). We show this presentation without using Wajnryb's simple presentation. We use a complex of curves defined by Harvey, in place of Hatcher and Thurston's complex.. Comment: 29 pages, 4 figures | |||||||||
