We prove homological stability for a twisted version of the Houghton groups and their multidimensional analogues. Based on this, we can describe the homology of the Houghton groups and that of their multidimensional analogues over constant…
We prove that homological stability fails for the moduli space of any simply-connected closed smooth 4-manifold in any degree of homology, unlike what happens in all dimensions $\neq 4$. We detect also the homological discrepancy between…
Homological stability for sequences of groups is often proved by studying the spectral sequence associated to the action of a typical group in the sequence on a highly-connected simplicial complex whose stabilizers are related to previous…
Using $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry, we present a topological condition for the existence of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ harmonic 1-forms over Riemannian manifold. As a corollary, if $L$ is an oriented link on $S^3$ with determinant zero, then there…
For any link in the $3$-sphere, we give a visual construction of a stable map $f$ from the $3$-sphere into the real plane enjoying the following properties; $f$ has no cusp point, the set of definite fold points of $f$ is isotopic to the…
We introduce a new stable range invariant for the classification of closed, oriented topological $4$-manifolds (up to $s$-cobordism), after stabilization by connected sum with a uniformly bounded number of copies of $S^2\times S^2$.
A family of closed manifolds is called cohomologically rigid if a cohomology ring isomorphism implies a diffeomorphism for any two manifolds in the family. We establish cohomological rigidity for large families of 3-dimensional and…
Using factorization homology, we realize the rational homology of the unordered configuration spaces of an arbitrary manifold $M$, possibly with boundary, as the homology of a Lie algebra constructed from the compactly supported cohomology…
We prove homological stability for standard unitary groups over R, C and H and for general linear groups over skew-fields with infinite centre. We focus on the similarities and differences of these proofs. Both proofs are due to Chih-Han…
We improve homological stability ranges for the orthogonal group, special orthogonal group, elementary orthogonal group and the spin group over a commutative local ring $R$ with infinite residue field such that $2 \in R^{*}$.
We study quotients of mapping class groups (\Gamma_{g,1}) of oriented surfaces with one boundary component by terms of their Johnson filtrations, and we show that the homology of these quotients with suitable systems of twisted coefficients…
For each skein module we describe a homology theory which, for any three manifold recovers the skein module at its zero level. The theory measures skein-like relations among skein relations, mimicking Hilbert's theory of syzygies. We work…
A homotopy equivalence between a hyperbolic 3-manifold and a closed irreducible 3-manifold is homotopic to a homeomorphsim provided the hyperbolic manifold satisfies a purely geometric condition. There are no known examples of hyperbolic…
We survey the different versions of Floer homology that can be associated to three-manifolds. We also discuss their applications, particularly to questions about surgery, homology cobordism, and four-manifolds with boundary. We then…
In this paper the homology stability for symplectic groups over a ring with finite stable rank is established. First we develop a `nerve theorem' on the homotopy type of a poset in terms of a cover by subposets, where the cover is itself…
We construct Heegaard Floer theory for 3-manifolds with connected boundary. The theory associates to an oriented, parametrized two-manifold a differential graded algebra. For a three-manifold with parametrized boundary, the invariant comes…
Using Furuta's idea of finite dimensional approximation in Seiberg-Witten theory, we refine Seiberg-Witten Floer homology to obtain an invariant of homology 3-spheres which lives in the S^1-equivariant graded suspension category. In…
We define a notion of Heegaard Floer homology for three dimensional orbifolds with arbitrary cyclic singularities, generalizing the recent work of Biji Wong where the singular locus is assumed to be connected.
Recent work has shown that if an isostatic bar and joint framework possesses non-trivial symmetries, then it must satisfy some very simply stated restrictions on the number of joints and bars that are `fixed' by various symmetry operations…
We give simple and unified proofs of the known stability and rigidity results for Lie algebras, Lie subalgebras and Lie algebra homomorphisms. Moreover, we investigate when a Lie algebra homomorphism is stable under all automorphisms of the…
