These notes introduce big mapping class groups, exploring infinite-type surfaces and key properties.
The goal of these notes is to give an introduction to big mapping class groups , that is, mapping class groups of surfaces of infinite type. We first talk about infinite-type surfaces and their classification. We then describe some basic topological and algebraic properties of their mapping class groups.
