Actions and irreducible representations of the mapping class group

L. Paris

Published 1999-05-28Version 1

We prove in this paper that the action of the mapping class group on the complex of curves has noncommensurable stabilizers. Following a method due to Burger and de la Harpe, this action leads to constructions of irreducible unitary representations of the mapping class group.
