We prove that the word problem in the mapping class group of the once-punctured surface of genus g has complexity O(|w| 2 g) for |w| log(g) where |w| is the length of the word in a (standard) set of generators. The corresponding bound in the case of the closed surface is O(|w| 2 g 2 ). We also carry

In (Masur and Wolf, 1995), Masur and Wolf proved that the TeichmΓΌller space of genus g > 1 surfaces with the TeichmΓΌller metric is not a Gromov hyperbolic space. In this paper, we provide an alternative proof based upon a study of the action of the mapping class group on TeichmΓΌller space.

The paper is to investigate the structure of the tame kernel K 2 O F for certain quadratic number fields F ; which extends the scope of Conner and Hurrelbrink (J. Number Theory 88 (2001), 263-282). We determine the 4-rank and the 8-rank of the tame kernel, the Tate kernel, and the 2-part of the clas
