Algebraic Topology 2007-05-23 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

The main result of this paper amounts to a complete evaluation of the integral cohomological structure of the stable mapping class group. In particular it verifies the conjecture of D.Mumford about the rational cohomology of the stable mapping class group.
