Non‐realizability of the Torelli group as area‐preserving homeomorphisms

Abstract: Nielsen realization problem for the mapping class group Mod(Sg) asks whether the natural projection pg : Homeo+(Sg) → Mod(Sg) has a section. While all the previous results use torsion elements in an essential way, in this paper, we focus on the much more difficult problem of realization of torsion-free subgroups of Mod(Sg). The main result of this paper is that the Torelli group has no realization inside the area-preserving homeomorphisms.

“…Since the rotation number of E(T c ) on the prime ends of K (E) is an irrational number r , it is semiconjugate to an irrational rotation. Then, up to the same semiconjugacy, the image of the centralizer of T c under E is SO (2). The image of each element is determined by its rotation number.…”

“…Franks-Handel [FH09], Bestvina-Church-Suoto [BCS13] and Salter-Tshishiku [ST16] have also obtained the nonrealization theorems for C 1 -diffeomorphisms. Recently, Chen [Che19] proved that braid group has no realization in the group of homeomorphisms and Chen-Markovic [CM20] proved that the Torelli group has no realization in the group of area-preserving homeomorphisms. The current big open problem in this area is whether every finite index subgroup of the mapping class group has realization as homeomorphisms or not.…”
