Hyperelliptic mapping class groups are defined either as the centralizers of hyperelliptic involutions inside mapping class groups of oriented surfaces of finite type or as the inverse images of these centralizers by the natural epimorphisms between mapping class groups of surfaces with marked points. We study these groups in a systematic way. An application of this theory is a counterexample to the genus 2 case of a conjecture by Putman and Wieland on virtual linear representations of mapping…

We prove that the hyperelliptic Torelli group is generated by Dehn twists about separating curves that are preserved by the hyperelliptic involution. This verifies a conjecture of Hain. The
Linear Representations of Hyperelliptic Mapping Class Groups
Let $p:S\to S_g$ be a finite $G$-covering of a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$ and let $B$ its branch locus. To this data, it is associated a representation of a finite index subgroup of the

A primer on mapping class groups

Given a compact connected orientable surface S there are two fundamental objects attached: a group and a space. The group is the mapping class group of S, denoted by Mod(S). This group is defined by

Moduli spaces of pointed curves with some level structure are studied. We prove that for so-called geometric level structures, the levels encountered in the boundary are smooth if the ambient variety

Abstract We consider the faithfulness of the monodromy representation associated with the universal family of n -pointed algebraic curves of genus g (2−2 g − n ρ g , n of the representation to the
