Abstract: Putman introduced a notion of a partitioned surface which is a surface with boundary with decoration restricting how the surface can be embedded into larger surfaces, and defined the Torelli group of the partitioned surfaces. In this paper, we study some topological and dynamical aspects of the Torelli groups of partitioned surfaces. More precisely, first we obtain upper and lower bounds on the cohomological dimension of Torelli groups of partitioned surfaces and show that those two bounds coincide when at most three boundary components are grouped together in the partition of the boundary. Second, we study the asymptotic translation lengths of Torelli groups of partitioned surfaces on the corresponding curve complexes. We show that the minimal asymptotic translation length asymptotically behaves almost like the reciprocal of the Euler characteristic of the surface. This generalizes the previous result of the first and second authors on Torelli groups for closed surfaces.
