Abstract

We show, finitely generated rational VICQ\mathsf{VIC}_{\mathbb Q}-modules and SIQ\mathsf{SI}_{\mathbb Q}-modules are uniformly representation stable and all their submodules are finitely generated. We use this to prove two conjectures of Church and Farb, which state that the quotients of the lower central series of the Torelli subgroups of Aut(Fn)\mathrm{Aut}(F_n) and Mod(Σg,1)\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma_{g,1}) are uniformly representation stable as sequences of representations of the general linear groups and the symplectic groups, respectively. Furthermore we prove an analogous statement for their Johnson filtrations.
