A presentation for the mapping class group of the closed non-orientable surface of genus 4
Pants Decompositions of Surfaces
We consider collections of disjoint simple closed curves in a compact orientable surface which decompose the surface into pairs of pants. The isotopy classes of such curve systems form the vertices…
A computation of the action of the mapping class group on isotopy classes of curves and arcs in surfaces
Let MC(F ) denote the group of homeomorphisms modulo isotopy of the g-holed torus F ; let YT (F ) denote the collection of isotopy classes of closed one-submanifolds of F , no component of which…

A PRESENTATION FOR THE MAPPING CLASS GROUP OF A NON-ORIENTABLE SURFACE FROM THE ACTION ON THE COMPLEX OF CURVES
We study the action of the mapping class group M(F) on the complex of curves of a non-orientable surface F. Following the outline of [1] we obtain, using the result of [4], a presentation for M(F)…

On the homotopy type of spaces of Morse functions on surfaces
