The Whitehead group and related objects of mapping class groups

Exposé dans le cadre du séminaire d’algèbre et de géométrie

Orateur : Daniel Juan-Pineda (Morelia)

With the confirmation of the Farrell-Jones conjecture for mapping class groups of a surface, we may approach the Whitehead group of these, we will ses how this can be done, with an application to braid groups of the sphere with 5 strings.
