Mapping class group

In mathematics, in the subfield of geometric topology, the mapping class group is an important algebraic invariant of a topological space. Briefly, the mapping class group is a certain discrete group corresponding to symmetries of the space. (Wikipedia).

Danny Calegari: Big Mapping Class Groups - lecture 1

Part I - Theory : In the "theory" part of this mini-course, we will present recent objects and phenomena related to the study of big mapping class groups. In particular, we will define two faithful actions of some big mapping class groups. The first is an action by isometries on a Gromov-h

Ursula Hamenstädt: Artin groups and mapping class groups

Using a very recent result of Calderon and Salter, we relate small type Artin groups defined by Coxeter diagram which are trees to mapping class groups. This gives information on both the Artin groups with respect to commensurability and hyperbolicity of the parabolic subgroup graph as wel

Definition of a group Lesson 24

In this video we take our first look at the definition of a group. It is basically a set of elements and the operation defined on them. If this set of elements and the operation defined on them obey the properties of closure and associativity, and if one of the elements is the identity el
