The generalized Harer conjecture for the homology triviality

Algebraic Topology 2022-06-28 v1

Abstract

The classical Harer conjecture is about the stable homology triviality of the obvious embedding ϕ:B2g+2Γg\phi : B_{2g+2} \hookrightarrow \Gamma_{g}, which was proved by Song and Tillmann. The main part of the proof is to show that \Bϕ+:\BB+\BΓ+\B\phi^{+} : \B B_{\infty}^{+} \rightarrow \B \Gamma_{\infty}^{+} induced from ϕ\phi is a double loop space map. In this paper, we give a proof of the generalized Harer conjecture which is about the homology triviality for an arbitraryarbitrary embedding ϕ:BnΓg,k\phi : B_{n} \hookrightarrow \Gamma_{g,k}. We first show that it suffices to prove it for a regularregular embedding in which all atomic surfaces are regarded as identical and each atomic twist is a {\it simple twist} interchanging two identical sub-parts of atomic surfaces. The main strategy of the proof is to show that the map Φ:CS\Phi : \mathcal{C} \rightarrow \mathcal{S} induced by \Bϕ:\confn(D)Mg,k\B\phi:\conf_n(D)\rightarrow\mathcal{M}_{g,k} preserves the actions of the framed little 2-disks operad.
