How do I efficiently find a sequence of Reidemeister moves between equivalent link diagrams?
In 2011 Coward-Lackenby proved the following, and they also provided an upper bound on the number of moves.
There is a computable function F : N×N → N such that for any two connected
diagrams D …

Teichmuller geodesics vs. geodesics in the hyperbolic plane
Geodesics in $\mathbb H^2$ have the following properties:
For every two points in the plane there exists a unique geodesic joining them.
Every geodesic determines exactly two points on the boundar …

Centralizer of a pseudo-Anosov element
What is the centralizer of a pseudo-Anosov element in the mapping class group of an orientable punctured surface? Is it cyclic? If so, where can I find a proof?

Torsion elements in the mapping class group
Let $S$ be an orientable surface of genus $g$ with $b>0$ boundary components, and let $\mathrm{Mod}(S)$ be its mapping class group, that is, the group of isotopy classes of its homeomorphisms modulo i …

Teichmüller space on non-orientable closed surfaces
A very nice paper about the Teichm\"uller space of non-orientable surfaces, Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and other generalizations of Thurston's theory to non-orientable surfaces is this one by Papadop …

Mapping class group and CAT(0) spaces
I hope the questions are not too vague.
Is the mapping class group of an orientable punctured surface $CAT(0)$ ?
Is any of the remarkable simplicial complexes (curve complex, arc complex...) built …
