The First Integral Cohomology of Pure Mapping Class Groups

Abstract: It is a classical result that pure mapping class groups of connected, orientable surfaces of finite type and genus at least 3 are perfect. In stark contrast, we construct nontrivial homomorphisms from infinite-genus mapping class groups to the integers. Moreover, we compute the first integral cohomology group associated to the pure mapping class group of any connected orientable surface of genus at least 2 in terms of the surface’s simplicial homology. In order to do this, we show that pure mapping class group… Show more

“…This coarse end behavior will also provide a convenient description of the surfaces S ± associated to an end-periodic homeomorphism as described above. To formalize this, we will first introduce a few more definitions and state a result of Aramayona-Patel-Vlamis [APV20].…”

“…If, for example, γ and f (γ) are disjoint, then |ϕ [γ] (f )| is the genus of the subsurface bounded by γ and f (γ) (with a negative sign if f (γ) is to the left of γ); see [APV20, Section 3] for a more precise description. Furthermore, they show that ϕ [γ] : PMap(S) → Z is a welldefined homomorphism that depends only on the homology class [γ]; see [APV20,Proposition 3.3].…”
