A remark on the action of the mapping class group on the unit tangent bundle
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Serie 6, Volume 19 (2010) no. 3-4, pp. 589-601.

We prove that the standard action of the mapping class group Map (Σ) of a surface Σ of sufficiently large genus on the unit tangent bundle T 1 Σ is not homotopic to any smooth action.

On montre que l’action standard du groupe modulaire Map (Σ) d’une surface Σ de genre assez grand sur le fibré unitaire tangent T 1 Σ n’est pas homotopique à une action lisse.
