From a root system, one may consider the arrangement of reflecting hyperplanes, as well as its toric and elliptic analogues. The corresponding Weyl group acts on the complement of the arrangement and hence on its cohomology. We consider a…
In this note we consider the complex representation theory of FI_d, a natural generalization of the category FI of finite sets and injections. We prove that finitely generated FI_d-modules exhibit behaviors in the spirit of Church-Farb…
For $n\geq 2$, let $G_n$ be a group and let $\rho: B_n\rightarrow G_n$ be a representation of the braid group $B_n$. For a field $\mathbb{K}$ and $a,b,c\in \mathbb{K}$, Bardakov, Chbili, and Kozlovskaya extend the representation $\rho$ to a…
We consider the ordered configuration space of $n$ open unit-diameter disks in the infinite strip of width $w$. In the spirit of Arnol'd and Cohen, we provide a finite presentation for the rational homology groups of this ordered…
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…
In this paper, we give a proof of homological mirror symmetry for two variable invertible polynomials, where the symmetry group on the $B$-side is taken to be maximal. The proof involves an explicit gluing construction of the Milnor fibres,…
Representation stability in the sense of Church-Farb is concerned with stable properties of representations of sequences of algebraic structures, in particular of groups. We study this notion on objects arising in toric topology. With a…
In this paper, we give a complete criterion for a discrete faithful representation $\rho:F_n \ra \pslc$ to be primitive stable. This will answer Minsky's conjectures about geometric conditions on $\H^3/\rho(F_n)$ regarding the primitive…
We explicitly describe unitary representations of mixed braid groups on the cohomology of Abelian branched covers of $\mathbf{CP}^1$ . We show that the image of the representation is generated by complex reflections and relate it to the…
In this paper we introduce the notion of the stability of a sequence of modules over Hecke algebras. We prove that a finitely generated consistent sequence associated with Hecke algebras is representation stable.
We study $\epsilon$-representations of discrete groups by unitary operators on a Hilbert space. We define the notion of Ulam stability of a group which loosely means that finite-dimensional $\epsilon$-represendations are uniformly close to…
Given a family of groups admitting a braided monoidal structure (satisfying mild assumptions) we construct a family of spaces on which the groups act and whose connectivity yields, via a classical argument of Quillen, homological stability…
We study the Gassner representation of the pure braid group $P_n$ by considering its restriction to a free subgroup $F$. The kernel of the restriction is shown to lie in the subgroup $[\Gamma^3 F,\Gamma^2 F]$, sharpening a result of…
Using factorization homology with coefficients in twisted commutative algebras (TCAs), we prove two flavors of higher representation stability for the cohomology of (generalized) configuration spaces of a scheme/topological space $X$.…
We show how to formulate some recent results from homological stability of algebras in Graham and Lehrer's language of cellular algebras. The aim is to begin to connect the new results from topology to well-established representation…
We describe an algorithm computing the monodromy and the pole order filtration on the Milnor fiber cohomology of any reduced projective plane curve $C$. The relation to the zero set of Bernstein-Sato polynomial of the defining homogeneous…
We give a proof of the Jardine-Tillmann generalized group completion theorem. It is much in the spirit of the original homology fibration approach by McDuff and Segal, but follows a modern treatment of homotopy colimits, using as little…
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…
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…
We study the first homology group of the Milnor fiber of sharp arrangements in the real projective plane. Our work relies on the minimal Salvetti complex of the deconing arrangement and its boundary map. We describe an algorithm which…
