Oct 8, 2010 at 20:04 comment added Bruno Martelli (To be more precise, the topological space should be the quotient of the arc complex by the action of the mapping class group. The result is an orbifold. The orbifold fundamental group is the mapping class group. I don't know the details, however the groupoid notion here fits very well)
Oct 8, 2010 at 16:54 comment added Bruno Martelli Oops, I skipped the word "fundamental". Luckily, this is indeed the fundamental groupoid of some topological space. The topological space is the arc complex. Every higher dimensional simplex in the arc complex corresponds to an ideal triangulation. Take one point in the interior of each such simplex: the resulting groupoid is what we need here.
