We calculate the abelianizations of the level $L$ subgroup of the genus $g$ mapping class group and the level $L$ congruence subgroup of the $2g times 2g$ symplectic group for $L$ odd and $g geq 3$.

We calculate the first homology group of the mapping class group with coefficients in the first rational homology group of the universal abelian $Z / L Z$-cover of the surface. If the surface has one marked point, then the answer is $Q^{tau(L)}$, whe re $tau(L)$ is the number of positive divisors of $L$. If the surface instead has one boundary component, then the answer is $Q$. We also perform the same calculation for the level $L$ subgroup of the mapping class group. Set $H_L = H_1(Sigma_g;Z/LZ)$. If the surface has one marked point, then the answer is $Q[H_L]$, the rational group ring of $H_L$. If the surface instead has one boundary component, then the answer is $Q$.
We construct a minimal generating set of the level 2 mapping class group of a nonorientable surface of genus $g$, and determine its abelianization for $gge4$.
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 $H_1(Sigma;mathbb{Z})$.

For some $g geq 3$, let $Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of a genus $g$ surface (possibly with boundary components and punctures). An old conjecture of Ivanov says that the abelianization of $Gamma$ should be finite. In t his note, we prove two theorems supporting this conjecture. For the first, let $T_x$ denote the Dehn twist about a simple closed curve $x$. For some $n geq 1$, we have $T_x^n in Gamma$. We prove that $T_x^n$ is torsion in the abelianization of $Gamma$. Our second result shows that the abelianization of $Gamma$ is finite if $Gamma$ contains a large chunk (in a certain technical sense) of the Johnson kernel, that is, the subgroup of the mapping class group generated by twists about separating curves. This generalizes work of Hain and Boggi.
Let $M_n$ be the connect sum of $n$ copies of $S^2 times S^1$. A classical theorem of Laudenbach says that the mapping class group $text{Mod}(M_n)$ is an extension of $text{Out}(F_n)$ by a group $(mathbb{Z}/2)^n$ generated by sphere twists. We prove that this extension splits, so $text{Mod}(M_n)$ is the semidirect product of $text{Out}(F_n)$ by $(mathbb{Z}/2)^n$, which $text{Out}(F_n)$ acts on via the dual of the natural surjection $text{Out}(F_n) rightarrow text{GL}_n(mathbb{Z}/2)$. Our splitting takes $text{Out}(F_n)$ to the subgroup of $text{Mod}(M_n)$ consisting of mapping classes that fix the homotopy class of a trivialization of the tangent bundle of $M_n$. Our techniques also simplify various aspects of Laudenbachs original proof, including the identification of the twist subgroup with $(mathbb{Z}/2)^n$.
