| contents | We provide new constraints for algebro-geometric subgroups of mapping class groups, namely images of fundamental groups of curves under complex algebraic maps to the moduli space of smooth curves. Specifically, we prove that the restriction of an infinite, finite rank unitary representation of the mapping class group of a closed surface to an algebro-geometric subgroup should be infinite, when the genus is at least 3. In particular the restriction of most Reshetikhin-Turaev representations of the mapping class group to such subgroups is infinite. To this purpose we use deep work of Gibney, Keel and Morrison to constrain the Shafarevich morphism associated to a linear representation of the fundamental group of the compactifications of the moduli stack of smooth curves studied in our previous work. As an application we prove that universal covers of most of these compactifications are Stein manifolds. |
