Pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms vs reducible diffeomorphisms
I was wondering if anyone knew a 'simple' proof of the fact that a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism of a closed surface $\Sigma$ is not reducible, in the sense that it does not fix the free homotopy class …

Veech group and mapping class group
So I have this question which is somewhat directed to people knowing a bit about translation surfaces. I am sure it is only a technical issue.
I consider $f : (\Sigma, \omega) \longrightarrow (\Sigma …

I was wondering if compact surfaces were the only compact manifolds with a "big" or "complicated" mapping class group.
Are there higher dimensional manifolds (which are not in some way reducible to …

How to get convinced that there are a lot of 3-manifolds?
My question is rather philosophical : without using advanced tools as Perlman-Thurston's geometrisation, how can we get convinced that the class of closed oriented $3$-manifolds is large and that simp …
