For a nonorientable surface, the twist subgroup is an index [Formula: see text] subgroup of the mapping class group generated by Dehn twists about two-sided simple closed curves. In this paper, we consider involution generators of the twist subgroup and give generating sets of involutions with smaller number of generators than the ones known in the literature using new techniques for finding involution generators.

AbstractWe construct a minimal generating set of the level 2 mapping class group of a nonorientable surface of genus g, and determine its abelianization for g ≥ 4.
