Using these generators, we can also show that T-g can be generated by two or three commutators depending on g modulo 4. Moreover, we show that T-g can be generated by three elements if g >= 8. For this general case, the number of commutator generators is either three or four depending on g modulo 4 again.en-USgenerating setscommutatorstorsiontwist subgroupnonorientable surfacesMapping class groupsArticle001261437300002001258693500001
