On the cohomology of the mapping class group of the punctured projective plane
Miguel A. Maldonado, Miguel A. Xicoténcatl
The mapping class group of a non-orientable surface with punctures is studied via classical homotopy theory of configuration spaces. In particular, we obtain a non-orien…

Embeddings and the (virtual) cohomological dimension of the braid and mapping class groups of surfaces
Daciberg Lima Gonçalves, John Guaschi, Miguel Maldonado
In this paper, we make use of the relations between the braid and mapping class groups of a compact, connected, non-orientable surface N without boundary and those of its orientabl…

Mapping class groups and function spaces: a survey
Fred R. Cohen, Miguel A. Maldonado
This paper is a survey of the relationship between labelled configuration spaces, mapping class groups with marked points and function spaces. In particular, we collect calculation…
