Abstract: We describe the topological behavior of the conjugacy action of the mapping class group of an orientable infinite-type surface $Sigma$ on itself. Our main results are: (1) All conjugacy classes of $MCG(Sigma)$ are meager for every $Sigma$, (2) $MCG(Sigma)$ has a somewhere dense conjugacy class if and only if $Sigma$ has at most two maximal ends and no non-displaceable finite-type subsurfaces, (3) $MCG(Sigma)$ has a dense conjugacy class if and only if $Sigma$ has a unique maximal end and no non-displaceable finite-type subsurfaces. Our techniques are based on model-theoretic methods developed by Kechris, Rosendal and Truss.
