The twist subgroup of the mapping class group of a nonorientable surface

Michal Stukow

Published 2007-09-18Version 1

Let T(N) be the subgroup of the mapping class group of a nonorientable surface N (possibly with punctures and/or boundary components) generated by twists about two-sided circles. We obtain a simple generating set for T(N). As an application we compute the first homology group (abelianization) of T(N).
