A l’aide du calcul différentiel de Fox, on définit pour tout entier positif k, une application sur le groupe d’homéotopie ℳ g,1 d’une surface de genre g et de bord à une composante, qui coïncide avec le k+1 ème homomorphisme de Johnson- Morita quand on la restreint à un sous-groupe approprié. Ceci permet d’obtenir de façon très simple une extension homomorphe des deuxième et troisième homomorphismes de Johnson- Morita à tout le groupe ℳ g,1

Using Fox differential calculus, for any positive integer k, we construct a map on the mapping class group ℳ g,1 of a surface of genus g with one boundary component, such that, when restricted to an appropriate subgroup, it coincides with the k+1th Johnson-Morita homomorphism. This allows us to construct very easily a homomorphic extension to ℳ g,1 of the second and third Johnson-Morita homomorphisms.
