Arc-complex vertex orbits of the four-punctured sphere
ID: arc-complex-vertex-orbits-of-the-four-punctured-sphere
The mapping class group of the four-punctured sphere has two orbits on vertices of its arc complex: arcs whose endpoints are distinct and arcs whose endpoints coincide. Each orbit is infinite, and Dehn twists exhibit infinitely many classes of the second type based at any fixed puncture.
