Asymptotic mapping class groups of closed surfaces punctured along Cantor sets

Louis Funar

Résumé

We introduce subgroups B-g < H-g of the mapping class group Mod(Sigma(g)) of a closed surface of genus g >= 0 with a Cantor set removed, which are extensions of Thompson's group V by a direct limit of mapping class groups of compact surfaces of genus g.We first show that both B-g and H-g are finitely presented, and that H-g is dense in Mod(Sigma(g)). We then exploit the relation with Thompson's groups to study properties B-g and H-g in analogy with known facts about finite-type mapping class groups. For instance, their homology coincides with the stable homology of the mapping class group of genus g, every automorphism is geometric, and every homomorphism from a higher-rank lattice has finite image.In addition, the same connection with Thompson's groups will also prove that B-g and H-g are not linear and do not have Kazhdan's Property (T), which represents a departure from the current knowledge about finite-type mapping class groups.
