Automorphism groups of cocompact Fuchsian groups as mapping class groups
Let $\Gamma$ be a cocompact Fuchsian group. So it has presentation $$\langle x_1,y_1, \dots, x_g,y_g,z_1, \ldots, z_r \mid [x_1,y_1] \cdots [x_g,y_g]z_1 \cdots z_r=1, \ z_i^{m_i}=1 \rangle$$
for some $...

Translation discreteness of pseudo-Anosov elements
Consider the action of mapping class groups on the curve graphs. A pseudo-Anosov element $g$ acts by a loxodromic isometry on the hyperbolic curve graphs. The translation length of $g$ is the limit $\...

Geometric intersection number for product of elements of the fundamental group
Let $F$ be a hyperbolic surface and $p\in F$ be a point. Consider $\pi_1(F,p)$, the fundamental group of $F$ with base point $p$. Let $x,y\in \pi_1(F,p)$ and $z$ be a simple closed curve in $F$ such ...

Image of the pure braid group under the Artin presentation into the automorphism group of the nilpotent quotient of a free group?
As I know, it is unknown that the image of the mapping class group of the surface and its Johnson filtration under the higher Johnson homomorphisms.
There are a relationship between the mapping class ...
