We establish a decomposition of stable homology of automorphism groups of free groups with polynomial contravariant coefficients in term of functor homology. This allows several explicit computations, intersecting results obtained by…
A group may be considered $C^*$-stable if almost representations of the group in a $C^*$-algebra are always close to actual representations. We initiate a systematic study of which discrete groups are $C^*$-stable or only stable with…
This note considers the finite linear independence of coherent systems associated to discrete subgroups. We show by simple arguments that such coherent systems of amenable groups are linearly independent whenever the associated twisted…
We develop a theory of polymatroids on Stallings core graphs, which provides a new technique for proving lower bounds on stable invariants of words and subgroups in free groups $F$, and for upper bounds on their probability for mapping,…
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…
We extend the results of the author with C. Vespa (Ann. Sci. ENS 2010) to stable homology of unitary groups over an arbitrary ring twisted by a polynomial functor : we show that it can be computed from the homology with constant…
We establish a strong, geometric lower bound on the (sequential) topological complexity of the unordered configuration spaces of a general graph. As an application, we show that, for most graphs, the topological complexity eventually…
We lift the classical theorem of Arnol'd on homological stability for configurations spaces of the plane to the motivic world. More precisely, we prove that the schemes of unordered configurations of points in the affine line satisfy…
We show that the homology of the Jones annular algebras is isomorphic to that of the cyclic groups below a line of gradient $\frac{1}{2}$. We also show that the homology of the partition algebras is isomorphic to that of the symmetric…
We prove that the twisted group C*-algebra of a finitely generated nilpotent group is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable if and only if it is nowhere scattered, a condition that we characterize in terms of the given group and 2-cocycle. As a main…
We develop a comprehensive theory of the stable representation categories of several sequences of groups, including the classical and symmetric groups, and their relation to the unstable categories. An important component of this theory is…
Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…
A theory has been presented previously in which the geometrical structure of a real four-dimensional space time manifold is expressed by a real orthonormal tetrad, and the group of diffeomorphisms is replaced by a larger group. The group…
For any smooth compact manifold $W$ of dimension at least two we prove that the classifying spaces of its group of diffeomorphisms which fix a set of $k$ points or $k$ embedded disks (up to permutation) satisfy homology stability. The same…
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…
We give a new proof of homological stability with the best known isomorphism range for mapping class groups of surfaces with respect to genus. The proof uses the framework of Randal-Williams-Wahl and Krannich applied to disk stabilization…
We consider the Birman-Hilden inclusion $\varphi\colon\mathfrak{Br}_{2g+1}\to\Gamma_{g,1}$ of the braid group into the mapping class group of an orientable surface with boundary, and prove that $\varphi$ is stably trivial in homology with…
We prove that certain sequences of Artin monoids containing the braid monoid as a submonoid satisfy homological stability. When the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture holds for the associated family of Artin groups this establishes homological stability…
We generalize the notion of asymptotic mapping class groups and allow them to surject to the Higman--Thompson groups, answering a question of Aramayona and Vlamis in the case of the Higman--Thompson groups. When the underlying surface is a…
The twisted Alexander polynomials of a space, associated to a linear representation $\sigma$ of the fundamental group, are non-abelian refinements of the classical Alexander polynomial from knot theory. In this paper, we show that they…
