On a compact oriented surface of genus g with n= 1 boundary components, d1, d2,..., dn, we consider positive factorizations of the boundary multitwist td1 td2 tdn, where tdi is the positive Dehn twist about the boundary di. We prove that for g= 3, the boundary multitwist td1 td2 can be written as a product of arbitrarily large number of positive Dehn twists about nonseparating simple closed curves, extending a recent result of Baykur and Van Horn- Morris, who proved this result for g= 8. This fact has immediate corollaries on the Euler characteristics of the Stein fillings of contact three manifolds.

Arbitrarily long factorizations in mapping class groups Korkmaz, Mustafa (2015-05-12) On a compact oriented surface of genus g with n ≥ 1 boundary components, δ1, δ2, ..., δn, we consider positive factorizations of the boundary multitwist tδ1 tδ2 ...tδn, where tδi is the positive Dehn twist about the boundary δi. We prove that for g ≥ 3, the boundary multitwist tδ1 tδ2 can be written as a product of arbitrarily large number of positive Dehn twists about nonseparating simple closed curves, extending a recent result of Baykur and Van Horn-Morris, who proved this result for g ≥ 8. This fact has...
Surface mapping class groups are ultrahopfian Korkmaz, Mustafa (2000-07-01) Let S denote a compact, connected, orientable surface with genus g and h boundary components. We refer to S as a surface of genus g with h holes. Let [Mscr ]S denote the mapping class group of S, the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms S → S. Let G be a group. G is hopfian if every homomorphism from G onto itself is an automorphism. G is residually finite if for every g ∈ G with g ≠ 1 there exists a normal subgroup of finite index in G which does not contain g. Every finitely ...
Probability functionals, homogenization and comprehensive reservoir simulators Tuncay, Kağan (2002-01-01) A probability functional method is used to determine the most probable state of a reservoir or other subsurface features. The method is generalized to arrive at a self-consistent accounting of the multiple spatial scales involved by unifying information and homogenization theories. It is known that to take full advantage of the approach (e.g. to predict the spatial distribution of permeability, porosity, multi-phase flow parameters, stress, fracturing) one must embed multiple reaction, transport, mechanical...
Automorphisms of curve complexes on nonorientable surfaces Atalan, Ferihe; Korkmaz, Mustafa (2014-01-01) For a compact connected nonorientable surface N of genus g with n boundary components, we prove that the natural map from the mapping class group of N to the automorphism group of the curve complex of N is an isomorphism provided that g + n >= 5. We also prove that two curve complexes are isomorphic if and only if the underlying surfaces are diffeomorphic.
On the moduli spaces of fiber bundles of curves of genus >= 2 Onsiper, H (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-11-02) We determine the moduli spaces parametrizing analytic fiber bundles of curves of genus g greater than or equal to 2 over curves of genus g(b) > (g + 1)/2.
