"The study of the mapping class group Mod(S) is a classical topic that is experiencing a renaissance. It lies at the juncture of geometry, topology, and group theory. This book explains as many important theorems, examples, and techniques as possible, quickly and directly, while…
This series of papers is aimed towards the calculation of the cohomology of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus two. This is all 2, 3, and 5-torsion. The mod 5 cohomology is given in the first paper, the mod 3 cohomology in the second, and the mod 2 coh…
