On the Mapping class group of nontrivial S² fiber bundles

Key Points

Surjective homomorphisms exist from both MCG_0(X) and MCG_0(X') to Z^∞, revealing their complexity.
The study applies a generalization of Dax invariants for embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds to yield results.
The properties of MCG_0(X) and MCG_0(X') inherit from a trivial fiber bundle Σ x S^2, suggesting foundational connections.
These findings expand our understanding of fiber bundles and their mapping class groups in topology.

Abstract

Let Σ be an orientbale closed surface and let Σ' be a nonorientable closed surface. In the paper, we show that for any nontrivial orientable S² fiber bundles X= Σ S² and X' = Σ' S², there are surjective homomorphisms from both MCG₀ (X) and MCG₀ (X') to Z^. The proof is an application of generalization of Dax invariants for embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds. The property of MCG₀ (X) and MCG₀ (X') inherits from trivial fiber bundle Σ S².
