Abelianization of Symmetric Mapping Class Groups

Xiyan Zhong

Let $S \to S$ be an unbranched regular $p$ -fold cyclic cover of a closed orientable surface $S$ of genus $g$ . Two natural groups are associated with this cover. The firs…

Linear representations of the mapping class group of dimension at most $3 g - 3$

Julian Kaufmann, Nick Salter, Zhong Zhang +1

We classify representations of the mapping class group of a surface of genus $g$ (with at most one puncture or boundary component) up to dimension $3 g - 3$ . Any such representation i…

Stable cohomology of universal character varieties

Ishan Banerjee, Faye Jackson, Anne Larsen +2

We study the universal PGL_n character variety over M_g whose fiber over a point [C] is the space of PGL_n-local systems on the curve C. We use nonabelian Hodge theory and properti…

Prym Representations and Twisted Cohomology of the Mapping Class Group with Level Structures

Xiyan Zhong

We compute the twisted cohomology of the mapping class group with level structures, with coefficients in the $r$ -tensor powers of the Prym representations for any positive integer…
