This chapter considers the Dehn–Lickorish theorem, which states that when g is greater than or equal to 0, the mapping class group Mod(Sɡ) is generated by finitely many Dehn twists about nonseparating simple closed curves. The theorem is proved by induction on genus, and the Birman exact sequence is introduced as the key step for the induction. The key to the inductive step is to prove that the complex of curves C(Sɡ) is connected when g is greater than or equal to 2. The simplicial complex C(Sɡ) is a useful combinatorial object that encodes intersection patterns of simple closed curves in Sɡ. More detailed structure of C(Sɡ) is then used to find various explicit generating sets for Mod(Sɡ), including those due to Lickorish and to Humphries.

Branched Covering

Abstract Let S be a surface with a metric d satisfying an upper curvature bound in the sense of Alexandrov (i.e. via triangle comparison). We show that an almost conformal harmonic map from a surface into ( S , d ) {(S,d)} is a branched covering. As a consequence, if ( S , d ) {(S,d)} is homeomorphically equivalent to the 2-sphere 𝕊 2 {\mathbb{S}^{2}} , then it is conformally equivalent to 𝕊 2 {\mathbb{S}^{2}} .

Abstract We consider the vanishing problem for higher cohomology groups on certain infinite-dimensional complex spaces: good branched coverings of suitable projective spaces and subvarieties with a finite free resolution in a projective space P(V ) (e.g. complete intersections or cones over finitedimensional projective spaces). In the former case we obtain the vanishing result for H 1. In the latter case the corresponding results are only conditional for sheaf cohomology because we do not have the corresponding vanishing theorem for P(V ).

Borromean Rings

AbstractWe consider orientable closed connected 3-manifolds obtained by performing Dehn surgery on the components of some classical links such as Borromean rings and twisted Whitehead links. We find geometric presentations of their fundamental groups and describe many of them as 2-fold branched coverings of the 3-sphere. Finally, we obtain some topological applications on the manifolds given by exceptional surgeries on hyperbolic 2-bridge knots.

Equivalent Class

Let R be a principal and integral domain. We say that two differential graded free Lie algebras over R (free dgl for short) are weakly equivalent if and only if the homologies of their corresponding enveloping universal algebras are isomophic. This paper is devoted to the problem of how we can characterize the weakly equivalent class of a free dgl. Our tool to address this question is the Whitehead exact sequence. We show, under a certain condition, that two R-free dgls are weakly equivalent if and only if their Whitehead sequences are isomorphic.

We develop an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the Torelli subgroup of [Formula: see text]. This builds on earlier work of the authors, who studied an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the entire group [Formula: see text]. These results play an important role in the authors’ recent work on the second homology group of the Torelli group.
