All finite groups are involved in the Mapping Class Group

Gregor Masbaum, Alan W. Reid

Published 2011-06-21, updated 2012-09-10Version 4

Let $\Gamma_g$ denote the orientation-preserving Mapping Class Group of the genus $g\geq 1$ closed orientable surface. In this paper we show that for fixed $g$, every finite group occurs as a quotient of a finite index subgroup of $\Gamma_g$.
