Abstract
Let Σg,p be an oriented surface of genus g with p punctures. We denote by \(\cal{M}_{g,p}\) and \(\cal{M}_{g,p}^{\pm}\) the mapping class group and the extended mapping class group of Σg,p, respectively. In this paper, we show that \(\cal{M}_{g,p}\) and \(\cal{M}_{g,p}^{\pm}\) are generated by two elements for g ≥ 3 and p ≥ 0.
让 Σg,p 是一个具有 p 个穿刺的 g 属定向曲面。我们分别用 \(\cal{M}_{g,p}\) 和 \(\cal{M}_{g,p}^{\pm}\) 表示 Σg,p 的映射类群和扩展映射类群。在本文中,我们证明了对于 g ≥ 3 和 p ≥ 0,\(\cal{M}_{g,p}\)和\(\cal{M}_{g,p}^{\pm}\)由两个元素生成。
