Generating the twist subgroup by involutions

  • 1. Middle East Tech Univ, Dept Math, Ankara, Turkey

Description

For a nonorientable surface, the twist subgroup is an index 2 subgroup of the mapping class group generated by Dehn twists about two-sided simple closed curves. In this paper, we consider involution generators of the twist subgroup and give generating sets of involutions with smaller number of generators than the ones known in the literature using new techniques for finding involution generators.
