Contribution
It establishes the virtual duality property for handlebody mapping class groups and characterizes the dualising module in terms of disc system homology.
Findings
Handlebody mapping class group is a virtual duality group.
Dualising module described as homology of non-simple disc systems.
Applicable to torsion-free, finite-index subgroups.
Abstract
We show that the mapping class group of a handlebody is a virtual duality group, in the sense of Bieri and Eckmann. In positive genus we give a description of the dualising module of any torsion-free, finite-index subgroup of the handlebody mapping class group as the homology of the complex of non-simple disc systems.
