    Number of Pseudo-Anosov Elements in the Mapping Class Group of a Four-Holed Sphere
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2010) Atalan, Ferihe; Korkmaz, Mustafa
    We compute the growth series and the growth functions of reducible and pseudo-Anosov elements of the pure mapping class group of the sphere with four holes with respect to a certain generating set We prove that the ratio of the number of pseudo-Anosov elements to that of all elements in a ball with center at the identity tends to one as the radius of the ball tends to infinity

    Automorphisms of Curve Complexes on Nonorientable Surfaces
    (European Mathematical Soc, 2014) Atalan, Ferihe; Korkmaz, Mustafa
    For a compact connected nonorientable surface N of genus g with n boundary components, we prove that the natural map from the mapping class group of N to the automorphism group of the curve complex of N is an isomorphism provided that g + n >= 5. We also prove that two curve complexes are isomorphic if and only if the underlying surfaces are diffeomorphic.
