Actions and irreducible representations of the mapping class group
Abstract
Description
We prove in this paper that the action of the mapping class group on the complex of curves has noncommensurable stabilizers. Following a method due to Burger and de la Harpe, this action leads to constructions of irreducible unitary representations of the mapping class group.
