Uniformly exponential growth and mapping class groups of surfaces

James W. Anderson, Javier Aramayona, Kenneth J. Shackleton

Published 2005-08-17Version 1

We show that the mapping class group of an orientable finite type surface has uniformly exponential growth, as well as various closely related groups. This provides further evidence that mapping class groups may be linear.
