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 …

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 …

Distorsion of subgroups of the mapping class group
Let $S_{g,b}$ be an oriented surface with $b$ boundary components and $S_g^b$ be an oriented surface with $b$ punctures. Let $\mathrm{Mod}(S_{g,b})$ and $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g^b)$ their (orientation preser …

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 …

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?

Quasi-isometric embeddings of the mapping class group into the Teichmuller space
Does there exist a quasi-isometric embedding
$$MCG(S) \to (\mathrm{Teich}(S), d)$$
for $d$ any "known" distance on the Teichmuller space (i.e. Teichmuller, Weil-Petersson, Thurston...) ?

Isomorphism type of mapping class group
Let $MCG(S_{g,b}^s)$ be the mapping class group of a surface $S_{g,b}^s$. Assume that it is not trivial.
Is it true that $MCG(S_{g,b}^s)$ is isomorphic to $MCG(S_{g',b'}^{s'})$ if and only if $ S_{g, …
