An analytic family of representations for the mapping class group of punctured surfaces

F Costantino, B Martelli - Geometry & Topology, 2014 - msp.org
We use quantum invariants to define an analytic family of representations for the mapping
class group Mod (Σ) of a punctured surface Σ. The representations depend on a complex …

Images of quantum representations of mapping class groups and Dupont–Guichardet–Wigner quasi-homomorphisms

L Funar, W Pitsch - Journal of the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu, 2018 - cambridge.org
We prove that either the images of the mapping class groups by quantum representations
are not isomorphic to higher rank lattices or else the kernels have a large number of normal …

On representations of Spin mapping class groups arising in Spin TQFT

G Masbaum - Geometry and Physics, 2021 - taylorfrancis.com
Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFT'S) in dimension 2+ 1 are closely related to
representations of mapping class groups of surfaces. This chapter presents some remarks …

Finiteness for mapping class group representations from twisted Dijkgraaf–Witten theory

PP Gustafson - Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 2018 - World Scientific
We show that any twisted Dijkgraaf–Witten representation of a mapping class group of an
orientable, compact surface with boundary has finite image. This generalizes work of Etingof …
