Geometric group theory (20F65) 2-dimensional topology (including mapping class groups of surfaces, Teichmüller theory, curve complexes, etc.) (57K20)

Abstract: We show that the closure of the compactly supported mapping class group of an infinite-type surface is not generated by the collection of multitwists (i.e. products of powers of twists about disjoint non-accumulating curves).
