To every $${\mathbb{Q}}$$Q-irreducible representation r of a finite group H, there corresponds a simple factor A of $${\mathbb{Q}[H]}$$Q[H] with an involution $${\tau}$$τ. To this pair $${(A, \tau)}$$(A,τ), we associate an arithmetic group $${\Omega}$$Ω consisting of all $${(2g-2) \times (2g-2)}$$(2g-2)×(2g-2) matrices over a natural order $${\mathfrak{O}^{op}}$$Oop of $${A^{op}}$$Aop which preserve a natural skew-Hermitian sesquilinear form on $${A^{2g-2}}$$A2g-2. We show that if H is generated by less than g elements, then $${\Omega}$$Ω is a virtual quotient of the mapping class group $${{\rm Mod}(\Sigma_g)}$$Mod(Σg), i.e. a finite index subgroup of $${\Omega}$$Ω is a quotient of a finite index subgroup of $${{\rm Mod}(\Sigma_g)}$$Mod(Σg). This shows that $${{\rm Mod}(\Sigma_g)}$$Mod(Σg) has a rich family of arithmetic quotients (and “Torelli subgroups”) for which the classical quotient $${{\rm Sp}(2g, \mathbb{Z})}$$Sp(2g,Z) is just a first case in a list, the case corresponding to the trivial group H and the trivial representation. Other pairs of H and r give rise to many new arithmetic quotients of $${{\rm Mod}(\Sigma_g)}$$Mod(Σg) which are defined over various (subfields of) cyclotomic fields and are of type $${{\rm Sp}(2m), {\rm SO}(2m, 2m),}$$Sp(2m),SO(2m,2m), and $${{\rm SU}(m, m)}$$SU(m,m) for arbitrarily large m.
