Frattini and related subgroups of mapping class groups

Abstract: Let

G a m m a_{g, b}

denote the orientation-preserving Mapping Class Group of a closed orientable surface of genus

g

with

b

punctures. For a group

G

let

P h i_{f} (G)

denote the intersection of all maximal subgroups of finite index in

G

. Motivated by a question of Ivanov as to whether

P h i_{f} (G)

is nilpotent when

G

is a finitely generated subgroup of

G a m m a_{g, b}

, in this paper we compute

P h i_{f} (G)

for certain subgroups of

G a m m a_{g, b}

. In particular, we answer Ivanov's question in the affirmative for these subgroups of

G a m m a_{g, b}

.
