We study the action of the elements of the mapping class group of a surface of finite type on the Teichmuller space of that surface equipped with Thurstons asymmetric metric. We classify such actions as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and pseudo-hyperbolic, depending on whether the translation distance of such an element is zero or positive and whether the value of this translation distance is attained or not, and we relate these four types to Thurstons classification of mapping classes. The study is parallel to the one made by Bers in the setting of Teichmuller space equipped with Teichmullers metric, and to the one made by Daskalopoulos and Wentworth in the setting of Teichmuller space equipped with the Weil-Petersson metric.

We address the question of determining which mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces admit nonelementary continuous actions on hyperbolic spaces. More precisely, let $Sigma$ be a connected, orientable surface of infinite type with tame endsp ace whose mapping class group is generated by a coarsely bounded subset. We prove that $mathrm{Map}(Sigma)$ admits a continuous nonelementary action on a hyperbolic space if and only if $Sigma$ contains a finite-type subsurface which intersects all its homeomorphic translates. When $Sigma$ contains such a nondisplaceable subsurface $K$ of finite type, the hyperbolic space we build is constructed from the curve graphs of $K$ and its homeomorphic translates via a construction of Bestvina, Bromberg and Fujiwara. Our construction has several applications: first, the second bounded cohomology of $mathrm{Map}(Sigma)$ contains an embedded $ell^1$; second, using work of Dahmani, Guirardel and Osin, we deduce that $mathrm{Map}(Sigma)$ contains nontrivial normal free subgroups (while it does not if $Sigma$ has no nondisplaceable subsurface of finite type), has uncountably many quotients and is SQ-universal.
We study two actions of big mapping class groups. The first is an action by isometries on a Gromov-hyperbolic graph. The second is an action by homeomorphisms on a circle in which the vertices of the graph naturally embed. The first two parts of th e paper are devoted to the definition of objects and tools needed to introduce these two actions; in particular, we define and prove the existence of equators for infinite type surfaces, we define the hyperbolic graph and the circle needed for the actions, and we describe the Gromov-boundary of the graph using the embedding of its vertices in the circle. The third part focuses on some fruitful relations between the dynamics of the two actions. For example, we prove that loxodromic elements (for the first action) necessarily have rational rotation number (for the second action). In addition, we are able to construct non trivial quasimorphisms on many subgroups of big mapping class groups, even if they are not acylindrically hyperbolic.
We study the action of (big) mapping class groups on the first homology of the corresponding surface. We give a precise characterization of the image of the induced homology representation.

In this paper, we discuss relations among several invariants of 3-manifolds including Meyers function, the eta-invariant, the von Neumann rho-invariant and the Casson invariant from the viewpoint of the mapping class group of a surface.
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.
