On upper bounds on stable commutator lengths in mapping class groups (1106.0422v2)
Published 2 Jun 2011 in math.GT and math.GR
Abstract: We give new upper bounds on the stable commutator lengths of Dehn twists in mapping class groups and new lower bounds on the stable commutator lengths of Dehn twists in hyperelliptic mapping class groups. In particular, we show that the stable commutator lengths of Dehn twists about a nonseparating and a separating curve on an oriented closed surface of genus 2 are not equal to each other.
