Abstract: Let $Sigm{a}_{g,n}$ be a compact oriented surface of genus $g$ with $n$ open disks removed. The graph algebra $mathcal{L}_{g,n}(H)$ was introduced by Alekseev--Grosse--Schomerus and Buffenoir--Roche and is a combinatorial quantization of the moduli space of flat connections on $Sigm{a}_{g,n}$. We construct a projective representation of the mapping class group of $Sigm{a}_{g,n}$ using $mathcal{L}_{g,n}(H)$ and its subalgebra of invariant elements. Here we assume that the gauge Hopf algebra $H$ is finite-dimensional, factorizable and ribbon, but not necessarily semi-simple. We also give explicit formulas for the representation of the Dehn twists generating the mapping class group; in particular, we show that it is equivalent to a representation constructed by V. Lyubashenko using categorical methods.

Review text

In the article projective representations of mapping class groups for a compact oriented surface \(\Sigma_{g,n}\) of genus \(g\) with \(n\) open discs removed are constructed. The construction uses the algebra \(\mathcal{L}(\Sigma_{g,n})\) introduced in [\textit{A. Yu. Alekseev} et al., Commun. Math. Phys. 172, No. 2, 317--358 (1995; Zbl 0842.58037)] and [\textit{E. Buffenoir} and \textit{Ph. Roche}, Commun. Math. Phys. 181, No. 2, 331--365 (1996; Zbl 0857.58046)] in combinatorial quantization of the moduli spaces of flat connections on \(\Sigma_{g,n}\). Here the gauge Hopf algebra \(H\) is finite-dimensional, factorizable and ribbon. Furthermore, the article gives explicit formulae for tge Dehn twists generating the mapping class group. Finally, the author shows that the projective representations are equivalent to representations obtained by Lyubashenko via categorical methods.
