Generators for the hyperelliptic Torelli group and the kernel of the Burau representation at t=-1
Tara Brendle, Dan Margalit, Andrew Putman
We prove that the hyperelliptic Torelli group is generated by Dehn twists about separating curves that are preserved by the hyperelliptic involution. This verifies a conjecture of…
A stability conjecture for the unstable cohomology of SL_n Z, mapping class groups, and Aut(F_n)
Thomas Church, Benson Farb, Andrew Putman
In this paper we conjecture the stability and vanishing of a large piece of the unstable rational cohomology of SL_n Z, of mapping class groups, and of Aut(F_n).
The Torelli group and congruence subgroups of the mapping class group
Andrew Putman
These are the lecture notes for my course at the 2011 Park City Mathematics Graduate Summer School. The first two lectures covered the basics of the Torelli group and the Johnson h…
Stability in the homology of congruence subgroups
Andrew Putman
The homology groups of many natural sequences of groups (e.g. general linear groups, mapping class groups, etc.) stabilize as . Indee…
