In this paper we study stability patterns in the homology of the ordered configuration space of the once-punctured torus. In the last decade Church and Church-Ellenberg-Farb proved that the homology groups of the ordered configuration space…

Let M_g^n be the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus g with n labeled marked points. We prove that, for g \geq 2, the cohomology groups {H^i(M_g^n;Q)}_{n=1}^{\infty} form a sequence of Sn representations which is representation stable…

We study representation stability in the sense of Church and Farb of sequences of cohomology groups of complements of arrangements of linear subspaces in real and complex space as $S_n$-modules. We consider arrangement of linear subspaces…

We introduce ordered and unordered configuration spaces of 'clusters' of points in an Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, where points in each cluster satisfy a 'verticality' condition, depending on a decomposition $d=p+q$. We compute the…

We prove a sharp representation stability result for graph complexes with a distinguished vertex, and prove that the chains realizing this sharp bound pass to non-trivial families of graph homology classes. This result may be interpreted as…

A well-known property of unordered configuration spaces of points (in an open, connected manifold) is that their homology stabilises as the number of points increases. We generalise this result to moduli spaces of submanifolds of higher…

We prove a homological stability theorem for certain complements of symmetric spaces. This is a variant of a conjecture by Vakil and Matchett Wood for subspaces of $\mathrm{Sym}^n(X)$ where $X$ is an open manifold admitting a boundary. To…

If $G$ is a graph with vertex set $V$, let Conf$_n^{\text{sink}}(G,V)$ be the space of $n$-tuples of points on $G$, which are only allowed to overlap on elements of $V$. We think of Conf$_n^{\text{sink}}(G,V)$ as a configuration space of…

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…

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…

Given a manifold with boundary, one can consider the space of subsurfaces of this manifold meeting the boundary in a prescribed fashion. It is known that these spaces of subsurfaces satisfy homological stability if the manifold has at least…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $U_1,U_2,\dots$ be a sequence of orthogonal representations in which any irreducible representation of $\oplus_{n \geq 1} U_n$ has infinite multiplicity. Let $V_n=\oplus_{i=1}^n U_n$ and $S(V_n)$ denote the…

We extend the definition of $n$-dimensional difference equations to complex order $\alpha\in \mathbb{C} $. We investigate the stability of linear systems defined by an $n$-dimensional matrix $A$ and derive conditions for the stability of…

We will study homological stability of the diffeomorphism groups of the manifolds $W_{g,1}:=D^{2n} \# (S^n \times S^n)^{\#g }$ using $E_k$-algebras. This will lead to new improvements in the stability results, especially when working with…

We prove a homological stability theorem for moduli spaces of simply-connected manifolds of dimension $2n > 4$, with respect to forming connected sum with $S^n \times S^n$. This is analogous to Harer's stability theorem for the homology of…

For fixed j and w, we study the j-th homology of the configuration space of n labeled disks of width 1 in an infinite strip of width w. As n grows, the homology groups grow exponentially in rank, suggesting a generalized representation…

We prove that the space of complex irreducible polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables satisfies two forms of homological stability: first, its cohomology stabilizes as $d$ increases, and second, its compactly supported cohomology…

Secondary homological stability is a recently discovered stability pattern for the homology of a sequence of spaces exhibiting homological stability in a range where homological stability does not hold. We prove secondary homological…

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…

In this paper we prove homological stability for certain subgroups of surface braid groups. Alternatively, this is equivalent to proving homological stability for configurations of subsets of exactly $\xi$ points in a surface as we increase…
