Non-realizability of the Torelli group as area-preserving homeomorphisms

Abstract:
Nielsen realization problem for the mapping class group Mod(๐‘†๐‘”) asks whether the natural projection ๐‘๐‘”:Homeo+(๐‘†๐‘”)โ†’Mod(๐‘†๐‘”) has a section. While all the previous results use torsion elements in an essential way, in this paper, we focus on the much more difficult problem of realization of torsionโ€free subgroups of Mod(๐‘†๐‘”) . The main result of this paper is that the Torelli group has no realization inside the areaโ€preserving homeomorphisms.
