Abstract
Nielsen realization problem for the mapping class group Mod (S_g) asks whether the natural projection p_g: Homeo + (S_g) → Mod (S_g) has a section. While all the previous results use torsion elements in an essential way, in this paper, we focus on the much more difficult problem of realization of torsion‐free subgroups of Mod (S_g). The main result of this paper is that the Torelli group has no realization inside the area‐preserving homeomorphisms.
