Uniformly exponential growth and mapping class groups of surfaces

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/76058We show that the mapping class group of an orientable finite type surface has uniformly exponential growth, as well as various closely related groups. This provides further evidence that mapping class groups may be linear.6 pages, no figuresGroup TheoryGeometric Topology20F65; 20F38Uniformly exponential growth and mapping class groups of surfacestext
