Homomorphism of Torelli group extended to level 2 group
Results contribute to the algebraic understanding of mapping class groups
Abstract
In this paper, we determine the abelianization of the level d mapping class group for d=2 and odd d. We also extend the homomorphism of the Torelli group defined by Heap to a homomorphism of the level 2 mapping class group.
