Graphs of curves on infinite-type surfaces with mapping class group actions

Abstract:

We study when the mapping class group of an infinite-type surface S admits an action with unbounded orbits on a connected graph whose vertices are simple closed curves on S. We introduce a topological invariant for infinite-type surfaces that determines in many cases whether there is such an action. This allows us to conclude that, as non-locally compact topological groups, many big mapping class groups have nontrivial coarse geometry in the sense of Rosendal.
