We explore the integration of representations from a Lie algebra to its algebraic group in positive characteristic. An integrable module is stable under the twists by group elements. Our aim is to investigate cohomological obstructions for…

We present a formula expressing Earle's twisted 1-cocycle on the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus >=2 relative to a fixed base point, with coefficients in the first homology group of the surface. For this purpose we…

Let C_n(M) be the configuration space of n distinct ordered points in M. We prove that if M is any connected orientable manifold (closed or open), the homology groups H_i(C_n(M); Q) are representation stable in the sense of [Church-Farb].…

We show that bounded cohomology stabilizes along sequences of classical Lie groups, and along sequences of lattices in them. Our method is based on a criterion from (arXiv:2307.12808) which adapts Quillen's stability method to the setting…

We prove a motivic stabilization result for the cohomology of the local systems on configuration spaces of varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ attached to character polynomials. Our approach interprets the stabilization as a probabilistic…

Combining results of Wahl, Galatius--Madsen--Tillmann--Weiss and Korkmaz one can identify the homotopy-type of the classifying space of the stable non-orientable mapping class group $N_\infty$ (after plus-construction). At odd primes p, the…

We discuss potential (largely speculative) applications of Bridgeland's theory of stability conditions to symplectic mapping class groups.

We give a short, mostly elementary and self-contained proof of the classical result that the groups of diffeomorphisms, homeomorphisms, and homotopy equivalences of a surface have the same group of connected components.

Motivated by the problem of dealing with incomplete or imprecise acquisition of data in computer vision and computer graphics, we extend results concerning the stability of persistent homology with respect to function perturbations to…

We improve the central stability ranges for H2(Torelli subgroup of Aut(Fn)'s) as GL_n(Z)-representations, H2(Torelli subgroup of mapping class groups) as Sp_2g(Z)-representations, Hk(congruence subgroups of GL_n(R)'s) as…

We prove a homological stability theorem for congruence subgroups of symplectic groups. From this theorem, we deduce a generalization of a theorem of Borel showing that certain homology groups of a congruence subgroup do not depend on the…

We show that for any periodic mapping class, there is some power which maps a nonseparating, simple closed curve to a distinct, disjoint nonseparating curve. As an application of this result, we introduce the notion of stable specific…

According to seminal work of Kontsevich, the unstable homology of the mapping class group of a surface can be computed via the homology of a certain lie algebra. In a recent paper, S. Morita analyzed the abelianization of this lie algebra,…

We prove two results concerning an Ulam-type stability problem for homomorphisms between lattices. One of them involves estimates by quite general error functions; the other deals with approximate (join) homomorphisms in terms of certain…

We give completely combinatorial proofs of the main results of [3] using polygons. Namely, we prove that the mapping class group of a surface with boundary acts faithfully on a finitely-generated linear category. Along the way we prove some…

We compute the mapping class group orbits in the homotopy set of framings of a compact connected oriented surface with non-empty boundary. In the case $g > 1$ the computation is some modification of Johnson's results and certain arguments…

We consider mapping class groups \Gamma(M) = pi_0 Diff(M fix \partial M) of smooth compact simply connected oriented 4-manifolds M bounded by a collection of 3-spheres. We show that if M contains CP^2 (with either orientation) as a…

The purpose of this note is to clarify some details in McDuff and Segal's proof of the group-completion theorem and to generalize both this and the homology fibration criterion of McDuff to homology with twisted coefficients. This will be…

We prove that the elliptic Harnack inequality (on a manifold, graph, or suitably regular metric measure space) is stable under bounded perturbations, as well as rough isometries.

Recently, Church-Miller-Nagpal-Reinhold [arXiv:1706.03845] obtained linear stable ranges for the integral cohomology of ordered configuration spaces, in the sense of representation stability. We note that the constants in these linear…
