Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove that the mapping class group of a non-Haken orientable irreducible 3-manifold is finite and we show that the quotient group of the mapping class group by the rotation group is virtually torsion-free if the manifold does not have 2-sphere boundary components.
