On the cohomology of Torelli groups

Algebraic Topology 2020-04-15 v4

Abstract

We completely describe the algebraic part of the rational cohomology of the Torelli groups of the manifolds #gSn×Sn\#^g S^n \times S^n relative to a disc in a stable range, for 2n62n \geq 6. Our calculation is also valid for 2n=22n=2 assuming that the rational cohomology groups of these Torelli groups are finite dimensional in a stable range.
