A finite generating set for the level 2 mapping class group of a nonorientable surface

Abstract

We obtain a finite set of generators for the level 2 mapping class group of a closed nonorientable surface of genus g 3. This set consists of isotopy classes of Lickorish's Y-homeomorphisms also called crosscap slides.
