dc.descriptionWe give elementary applications of quasi-homomorphisms to growth problems in groups. A particular case concerns the number of torsion elements required to factorise a given element in the mapping class group of a surface.
dc.descriptionRevised to include a discussion of weak bounded generation, both in general and for mapping class groups; now 8 pages
