Minimal Generation of Mapping Class Groups: A Survey of the Orientable Case

Tulin Altunoz, Mehmetcik Pamuk, Oguz Yildiz

The mapping class group of an orientable surface, which records its symmetries up to isotopy, plays a central role in low-dimensional topology. This chapter explores the foundation…
