The weak stability conjecture for level mapping class groups
Let be a closed oriented surface of genus , let be the level- mapping class group, and let be a simple closed nonseparating curve on . Write for the stabilizer of in . For fixed and , consider the natural map
Stability conjecture. For fixed and , there exists some such that if and is a simple closed nonseparating curve on , then this map is a surjection.
This weaker stability statement is presented as sufficient for the isomorphism conjecture, extending the degree-two homological argument to higher degrees. Its general validity is not established in the source.
