General primitivity in the mapping class group

Pankaj Kapari,
Kashyap Rajeevsarathy

Abstract: For g ≥ 2, let Mod(Sg) be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface Sg of genus g. In this paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions under which a given pseudo-periodic mapping class can be a root of another up to conjugacy. Using this characterization, the canonical decomposition of (non-periodic) mapping classes, and some known algorithms, we give an efficient algorithm for computing roots of arbitrary mapping classes up to conjugacy. Furthermore, we derive realizable bounds on the … Show more
