We propose an encoding for topological quantum computation utilizing quantum representations of mapping class groups. Leakage into a non-computational subspace seems to be unavoidable for universality in general. We are interested in the possible gate sets which can emerge in this setting. As a first step, we prove that for abelian anyons, all gates from these mapping class group representations are normalizer gates. Results of Van den Nest then allow us to conclude that for abelian anyons this quantum computing scheme can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. With an eye toward more general anyon models we additionally show that for Fibonnaci anyons, quantum representations of mapping class groups give rise to gates which are not generalized Clifford gates.

Induced representations for quantum groups are defined starting from coisotropic quantum subgroups and their main properties are proved. When the coisotropic quantum subgroup has a suitably defined section such representations can be realized on associated quantum bundles on general embeddable quantum homogeneous spaces.
We show that the mapping class group acts properly on the space of maximal representations of the fundamental group of a closed Riemann surface into G when G = Sp(2n,R), SU(n,n), SO*(2n) or Spin(2,n).
We study the TQFT mapping class group representations for surfaces with boundary associated with the $SU(2)$ gauge group, or equivalently the quantum group $U_q(Sl(2))$. We show that at a prime root of unity, these representations are all irreducible. We also examine braid group representations for transcendental values of the quantum parameter, where we show that the image of every mapping class group is Zariski dense.
We prove that representations of the braid groups coming from weakly group-theoretical braided fusion categories have finite images.
We prove that various subgroups of the mapping class group $Mod(Sigma)$ of a surface $Sigma$ are at least exponentially distorted. Examples include the Torelli group (answering a question of Hamenstadt), the point-pushing and surface braid subgroups, and the Lagrangian subgroup. Our techniques include a method to compute lower bounds on distortion via representation theory and an extension of Johnson theory to arbitrary subgroups of $H_1(Sigma;mathbb{Z})$.
