Some IHX-type relations on trivalent graphs and symplectic representation theory

Stavros Garoufalidis and Hiroaki Nakamura

Abstract: We consider two types of graded algebras (with graded actions by the symplectic Lie algebra) that arise in the study of the mapping class group, and describe their symplectic invariants in terms of algebras on trivalent graphs.

Key words: Mapping class group, graph cohomology.
