In the published version of \"Mapping class group and a global Torelli theorem for hyperkahler manifolds\" I made an error based on a wrong quotation of Dennis Sullivan's famous paper \"Infinitesimal computations in topology\". I claimed that the natural homomorphism from the mapping class group to the group of automorphims of cohomology of a simply connected Kahler manifold has finite kernel. In a recent preprint arXiv:1907.05693, Matthias Kreck and Yang Su produced counterexamples to this statement. Here I correct this error and other related errors, observing that the results of \"Mapping class group and a global Torelli theorem\" remain true after an appropriate change of terminology.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-30T15:00:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mapping class group", "global torelli theorem", "hyperkahler manifolds", "dennis sullivans famous paper", "yang su produced counterexamples" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
