Let G be a reductive algebraic group over Q, and suppose that Gamma is an arithmetic subgroup of G(R) defined by congruence conditions. A basic problem in arithmetic is to determine the multiplicities of discrete series representations in…

The moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ of $n$ pointed stable curves of genus $0$ admits an action of the symmetric group $S_n$ by permuting the marked points. We provide a closed formula for the character of the $S_n$-action on the…

We introduce stability categories for diagram algebras---analogues to Randal-Williams and Wahl's homogeneous categories. We use these to study representation stability properties of the Temperley--Lieb algebras, the Brauer algebras, and the…

For fixed positive integers $n$ and $k$, the Kneser graph $KG_{n,k}$ has vertices labeled by $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ and edges between disjoint sets. Keeping $k$ fixed and allowing $n$ to grow, one obtains a family of…

We show rational homological stability for the homotopy automorphisms and block diffeomorphims of iterated connected sums of products of spheres. The spheres can have different dimension, but need to satisfy a certain connectivity…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a finite field $k$. In this note we study the space $V$ of finitely supported functions on the set of isomorphism classes $G$-bundles on the projective line ${\mathbb P}^1$ endowed with a…

We prove that the homology of the mapping class groups of non-orientable surfaces stabilizes with the genus of the surface. Combining our result with recent work of Madsen and Weiss, we obtain that the classifying space of the stable…

We study the space of oriented genus g subsurfaces of a fixed manifold M, and in particular its homological properties. We construct a "scanning map" which compares this space to the space of sections of a certain fibre bundle over M…

We compute the stable homology of orthogonal and symplectic groups over a finite field k with coefficients coming from an usual endofunctor F of k-vector spaces (exterior, symmetric, divided powers...), that is, for all natural integer i,…

We specify a class of graphs, $H_t$, and characterize the irreducible decomposition of all powers of the cover ideals. This gives insight into the structure and stabilization of the corresponding associated primes; specifically, providing…

For a given bundle $\xi \colon E \to M$ over a manifold, configuration-section spaces on $\xi$ parametrise finite subsets $z \subseteq M$ equipped with a section of $\xi$ defined on $M \smallsetminus z$, with prescribed "charge" in a…

We give another proof, using tools from Geometric Invariant Theory, of a result due to S. Sam and A. Snowden in 2014, concerning the stability of Kro-necker coefficients. This result states that some sequences of Kronecker coefficients…

We prove a slope 1 stability range for the homology of the symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups with respect to the hyperbolic form, over any fields other than $F_2$, improving the known range by a factor 2 in the case of finite…

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…

Let $G$ be a group and let $\rho\colon G\to\operatorname{Sym}(V)$ be a permutation representation of $G$ on a set $V$. We prove that there is a faithful $G$-coalgebra $C$ such that $G$ arises as the image of the restriction of…

Let $f: X \to Y$ be a regular covering of a surface $Y$ of finite type with nonempty boundary, with finitely-generated (possibly infinite) deck group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral homology class on $X$ to…

We prove a formula for the ${\mathbb S}_n$-equivariant Euler characteristic of the moduli space of graphs $\mathcal{MG}_{g,n}$. Moreover, we prove that the rational ${\mathbb S}_n$-invariant cohomology of $\mathcal{MG}_{g,n}$ stabilizes for…

Let $G$ be a compact and connected Lie group and $PU(\mathcal H)$ be the group of projective unitary operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ endowed with the strong operator topology. We study the space $hom_{st}(G, PU(\mathcal…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $L$ be either the intransitive permutation group $C_p\times C_p$ of degree $2p$ or the transitive permutation group $C_p \wr C_2$ of degree $2p$. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected $G$-vertex-transitive and…

Given a finite graph G and a topological space Z, the graphical configuration space Conf(G, Z) is the space of functions V(G) -> Z so that adjacent vertices map to distinct points. We provide a homotopy decomposition of Conf(G, X x Y) in…
