‟Cohomology of Handlebody Torelli Groups” by Annie Holden <aholden2@nd.edu>, University of Notre Dame
Abstract:
We begin by introducing the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface and outlining known results about its low-dimensional cohomology. We then present recent work extending these results to a Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group of a handlebody.
