Rational abelianizations of Chillingworth subgroups of mapping class groups and automorphism groups of free groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The Chillingworth subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface is defined as the subgroup consisting of elements that preserve nonsingular vector fields up to homotopy. The action of the mapping class group on the set of homotopy classes of nonsingular vector fields is described using the concept of the winding number. By employing a cohomological approach, we extend the notion of the winding number to general manifolds, introducing the definition of the Chillingworth subgroup for both the mapping class group of general manifolds and the automorphism group of a free group. In this work, we determine the rational abelianization of the Chillingworth subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface and, under a certain assumption, also determine the rational abelianization of the Chillingworth subgroup for the automorphism group of a free group.
