Filling loops at infinity in the mapping class group

Aaron Abrams, Noel Brady, Pallavi Dani, Moon Duchin, Robert Young

Published 2011-09-27, updated 2012-05-03Version 2

We study the Dehn function at infinity in the mapping class group, finding a polynomial upper bound of degree four. This is the same upper bound that holds for arbitrary right-angled Artin groups.

Comments: 7 pages, 2 figures; this note presents a result which was contained in an earlier version of "Pushing fillings in right-angled Artin groups" (arXiv:1004.4253) but is independent of the techniques in that paper
