Surface groups, infinite generating sets, and stable commutator length
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2019
Abstract
We give a new proof of a theorem of D. Calegari that says that the Cayley graph of a surface group with respect to any generating set lying in finitely many mapping class group orbits has infinite diameter. This applies, for instance, to the generating set consisting of all simple closed curves.
