Finite abelian subgroups of the mapping class group
The problem of enumeration of conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_{\sigma}$ of a compact closed surface $X$ of genus $\sigma$ is considered. A complete method of enumeration is achieved for finite elementary abelian subgroups and steps are taken toward enumeration of finite abelian subgroups.
