An EZ-structure for the mapping class group

arXiv:2505.18808

Abstract

We construct a boundary for the mapping class group Mod(S) of a surface S of finite type. The action of Mod(S) on this boundary is minimal, strongly proximal and topologically free. The boundary is the boundary of an EZ-structure for Mod(S).

Some proofs and the writing were improved, small corrections. Final version, 54 pages
