Representation stability is a theory describing a way in which a sequence of representations of different groups is related, and essentially contains a finite amount of information. Starting with Church-Ellenberg-Farb's theory of…
Church-Ellenberg-Farb used the language of FI-modules to prove that the cohomology of certain sequences of hyperplane arrangements with S_n-actions satisfies representation stability. Here we lift their results to the level of the…
We prove that the dual rational homotopy groups of the configuration spaces of a 1-connected manifold of dimension at least 3 are uniformly representation stable in the sense of Church, and that their derived dual integral homotopy groups…
In this paper we apply the theory of finitely generated FI-modules developed by Church, Ellenberg and Farb to certain sequences of rational cohomology groups. Our main examples are the cohomology of the moduli space of n-pointed curves, the…
A category of FI type is one which is sufficiently similar to finite sets and injections so as to admit nice representation stability results. Several common examples admit a Grothendieck fibration to finite sets and injections. We begin by…
In this paper we study representation theory of the category FI$^m$ introduced by Gadish which is a product of copies of the category FI, and show that quite a few interesting representational and homological properties of FI can be…
In this paper we develop machinery for studying sequences of representations of any of the three families of classical Weyl groups, extending work of Church, Ellenberg, Farb, and Nagpal on the symmetric groups S_n to the signed permutation…
In this paper we introduce and develop the theory of FI-modules. We apply this theory to obtain new theorems about: - the cohomology of the configuration space of n distinct ordered points on an arbitrary (connected, oriented) manifold -…
We consider in parallel pointed homotopy automorphisms of iterated wedge sums of topological spaces and boundary relative homotopy automorphisms of iterated connected sums of manifolds minus a disk. Under certain conditions on the spaces…
Representation stability is a phenomenon whereby the structure of certain sequences $X_n$ of spaces can be seen to stabilize when viewed through the lens of representation theory. In this paper I describe this phenomenon and sketch a…
We study the coinduction functor on the category of FI-modules and its variants. Using the coinduction functor, we give new and simpler proofs of (generalizations of) various results on homological properties of FI-modules. We also prove…
FI-modules were introduced by the first three authors in [CEF] to encode sequences of representations of symmetric groups. Over a field of characteristic 0, finite generation of an FI-module implies representation stability for the…
We introduce a technique for proving quantitative representation stability theorems for sequences of representations of certain finite linear groups over a field of characteristic zero. In particular, we prove a vanishing result for higher…
A VI-module gives rise to a sequence of representations of the finite general linear groups. We prove that the sequence obtained from any finitely generated VI-module over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is…
We construct analogues of FI-modules where the role of the symmetric group is played by the general linear groups and the symplectic groups over finite rings and prove basic structural properties such as Noetherianity. Applications include…
Clifford theory establishes a relation between the representation theory of a finite group and its normal subgroups. In this paper, we establish the Clifford theory for the modular representations of finite groups. The proofs are based on…
In this paper we study the integral cohomology of pure mapping class groups of surfaces, and other related groups and spaces, as FI-modules. We use recent results from Church, Miller, Nagpal and Reinhold to obtain explicit linear bounds for…
In this paper we generalize a shift theorem, which plays a key role in studying representations of FI$^m$, the product category of the category of finite sets and injections, and classify finitely generated injective FI$^m$-modules over a…
In this survey article we summarize the current state of research in representation stability theory. We look at three different, yet related, approaches, using (1) the category of FI-modules, (2) Schur-Weyl duality, and (3)…
Given a category C of a combinatorial nature, we study the following fundamental question: how does the combinatorial behavior of C affect the algebraic behavior of representations of C? We prove two general results. The first gives a…
