Asymptotically conformal and asymptotically rigid mapping class groups

We give conditions ensuring that an asymptotically rigid mapping class group, specifically a surface Houghton group $\mathcal{H}(S)$, has finite index in the asymptotically conformal modular group $\text{Mod}_0(X)$, where $X$ is a hyperbolic structure on $S$. These include geometric conditions on the pieces of the unde...
