We obtain a simple generating set for T(N). As an application we compute the first homology group (abelianization) of T(N).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-09-18T11:20:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57N05", "20F38", "57M99" ], "keywords": [ "mapping class group", "nonorientable surface", "twist subgroup", "first homology group", "boundary components" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0709.2798S" } } }
