Equivariant group presentations and the second homology group of the Torelli group
Abstract
We develop a theory of equivariant group presentations and relate them to the second homology group of a group. Our main application says that the second homology group of the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group is finitely generated as an Sp(2g,Z)-module.
