Abstract: Nielsen realization problem for the mapping class group $extMod(S_g)$ asks whether the natural projection $p_g:ext{Homeo}_{+}(S_g)oextMod(S_g)$ has a section. While all the previous results use torsion elements in an essential way, in this paper, we focus on the much more difficult problem of realization of torsion-free subgroups of $extMod(S_g)$. The main result of this paper is that the Torelli group has no realization inside the area-preserving homeomorphisms.
