Abstract: We exhibit a finitely generated group $M$ whose rational homology is isomorphic to the rational stable homology of the mapping class group. It is defined as a mapping class group associated to a surface $su$ of infinite genus, and contains all the pure mapping class groups of compact surfaces of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components, for any $ggeq0$ and $n>0$. We construct a representation of $M$ into the restricted symplectic group $mS{p}_{res}({calH}_r)$ of the real Hilbert space generated by the homology classes of non-separating circles on $su$, which generalizes the classical symplectic representation of the mapping class groups. Moreover, we show that the first universal Chern class in $$ is the pull-back of the Pressley-Segal class on the restricted linear group $mG{L}_{res}(calH)$ via the inclusion $mS{p}_{res}({calH}_r)subsetmG{L}_{res}(calH)$.
