Involution Generators of the Big Mapping Class Group

Abstract

Let S = S(n) denote the infinite surface with n ends, n ∈ N, accumulated by genus. For n ≥ 6, we show that the mapping class group of S is topologically generated by five involutions. When n ≥ 3, it is topologically generated by six involutions.
