Abstract
Let denote the infinite-type surface with ends, , accumulated by genus. For , we show that the mapping class group of is topologically generated by five involutions. When , it is topologically generated by six involutions.
期刊介绍:
This journal is devoted to topology and analysis, broadly defined to include, for instance, differential geometry, geometric topology, geometric analysis, geometric group theory, index theory, noncommutative geometry, and aspects of probability on discrete structures, and geometry of Banach spaces. We welcome all excellent papers that have a geometric and/or analytic flavor that fosters the interactions between these fields. Papers published in this journal should break new ground or represent definitive progress on problems of current interest. On rare occasion, we will also accept survey papers.
