Sinopsis
Proceedings of a workshop held in G÷ttingen, Germany in June 1991, and in Seattle, Washington in August 1991. Papers discuss a combinatorial approach to reducibility of mapping classes, interval exchange spaces and moduli spaces, mapping class groups and classical homotropy theory, the rational Picard group of the moduli space for Riemann surfaces with spin structure, certain families of compact Riemann surfaces, higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion, and logarithmic law for geodesics in moduli space.

Reseña del editor
The study of mapping class groups and moduli spaces of compact Riemann surfaces is currently a central topic in topology, algebraic geometry, and conformal field theory. This book contains proceedings from two workshops held in the summer of 1991, one at the University of G\"ottingen and the other at the University of Washington at Seattle. The papers gathered here represent diverse approaches and contain several important new results. With both research and survey articles, the book appeals to mathematicians and physicists.
