Mapping Class Groups of Low Genus and Their Cohomology by David J. Benson,Frederick Ronald Cohen Pdf
This series of papers is aimed towards the calculation of the cohomology of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus two. This is all 2, 3, and 5-torsion. The mod 5 cohomology is given in the first paper, the mod 3 cohomology in the second, and the mod 2 cohomology in the third. Along the way, we investigate many interesting properties of mapping class groups.
