Besides being basic objects in surface topology, these groups appear now in several branches of mathematics such as combinatorial group theory, 3-manifolds and 4-manifolds theory, complex geometry and algebraic geometry. in this talk, we will give a brief review on the classic mapping class group theory and introduce related topics.
