A sequence of $S_n$-representations $\{V_n\}$ is said to be uniformly representation stable if the decomposition of $V_n = \bigoplus_{\mu} c_{\mu,n} V(\mu)_n$ into irreducible representations is independent of $n$ for each $\mu$---that is,…
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 study a wide range of homologically-defined representations of surface braid groups and of mapping class groups of surfaces, including the Lawrence-Bigelow representations of the classical braid groups. These representations naturally…
Consider the ring $R:=\Q[\tau,\tau^{-1}]$ of Laurent polynomials in the variable $\tau$. The Artin's Pure Braid Groups (or Generalized Pure Braid Groups) act over $R,$ where the action of every standard generator is the multiplication by…
In this paper we compute the homology of the braid groups, with coefficients in the module Z[q^+-1] given by the ring of Laurent polynomials with integer coefficients and where the action of the braid group is defined by mapping each…
The fundamental group of the real locus of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of rational curves with $n$ marked points, the pure cactus group, resembles the pure braid group in many ways. As it is the case for several…
We prove a general representation stability result for polynomial coefficient systems which lets us prove representation stability and secondary homological stability for many families of groups with polynomial coefficients. This gives two…
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…
This article gives certain fibre bundles associated to the braid groups which are obtained from a translation as well as conjugation on the complex plane. The local coefficient systems on the level of homology for these bundles are given in…
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…
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…
Based on a normal form for braid group elements suggested by Dehornoy, we prove several representations of braid groups by automorphisms of a free group to be faithful. This includes a simple proof of the standard Artin's representation…
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…
We prove a homological stability theorem for families of discrete groups (e.g. mapping class groups, automorphism groups of free groups, braid groups) with coefficients in a sequence of irreducible algebraic representations of arithmetic…
This paper analyzes the representation theoretic stability, in the sense of Thomas Church and Benson Farb, of the rank-selected homology of the Boolean lattice and the partition lattice, proving sharp uniform representation stability bounds…
The question of whether a representation of Artin's pure braid group is faithful is translated to certain properties of the Lie algebra arising from the descending central series of the pure braid group, and thus the Vassiliev invariants of…
We complete the computation of the integral homology of the generalized braid group $B$ associated to an arbitrary irreducible complex reflection group $W$ of exceptional type. In order to do this we explicitely computed the…
This paper studies representation stability in the sense of Church and Farb for representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ on the cohomology of the configuration space of $n$ ordered points in $\mathbf{R}^d$. This cohomology is known to…
The cohomology of the pure string motion group PSigma_n admits a natural action by the hyperoctahedral group W_n. Church and Farb conjectured that for each k > 0, the sequence of degree k rational cohomology groups of PSigma_n is uniformly…
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…
