We study their Torelli subgroups, adapting ideas introduced by Putman for surface mapping class groups. Our main results show that these groups are finitely generated, and also that they satisfy an appropriate version of the Birman exact sequence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-27T05:32:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "torelli subgroup", "birman exact sequence", "surface mapping class groups", "automorphism groups", "appropriate version" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
