Asymptotic Dimension of Big Mapping Class Groups
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Even though big mapping class groups are not countably generated, certain big mapping class groups can be generated by a coarsely bounded set and have a well defined quasi-isometry type. We show that the big mapping class group of a stable surface of infinite type with a coarsely bounded generating set that contains an essential shift has infinite asymptotic dimension. This is in contrast with the mapping class groups of surfaces of finite type where the asymptotic dimension is always finite. We also give a topological characterization of essential shifts.
