Let Mn denote the connect sum of n copies of S2 x S1, and let Mod(M_n) denote its mapping class group. A theorem of Laudenbach from 1973 gives a short exact sequence realizing Mod(M_n) as an extension of Out(F_n) by (Z/2)^n. In this talk we will show that Laudenbach’s sequence splits, with Out(F_n) embedded in Mod(M_n) as the stabilizer of a trivialization of TM_n. This is joint work with Nathan Broaddus and Andrew Putman.
