Abstract
Let F g be a closed orientable 2-manifold of genus g. The Torelli group is the kernel of the natural homomorphism from the mapping class group of F 1 to Aut( H 1( F g )). For g⩾3 the Torelli group has been shown to be finitely generated by Dennis Johnson. We show that it is not finitely generated when g=2.
