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…
We compute the stable cohomology groups of the mapping class groups of compact orientable surfaces with one boundary, with twisted coefficients given by the homology of the unit tangent bundle of the surface. This stable twisted cohomology…
This work explores the geometry of stable wild Vafa-Witten bundles over the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. Specifically, we consider stable rank-two pairs $(E,\Phi)$, with $E\to\mathbb{P}^2$ a rank-two holomorphic vector bundle…
Let $r \geq 2$ be an integer, and let $a$ be an integer coprime to $r$. We show that if $c_2 \geq n + \left\lfloor \frac{r-1}{2r}a^2 + \frac{1}{2}(r^2 + 1) \right\rfloor$, then the $2n$th Betti number of the moduli space…
We show that certain dense and spectral invariant subalgebras of a $C^*$-algebra have the same bilateral Bass stable rank. This is a partial answer for (a version of) an open problem raised by R.G. Swan. Then, for certain Banach algebras,…
We study quotients of mapping class groups (\Gamma_{g,1}) of oriented surfaces with one boundary component by terms of their Johnson filtrations, and we show that the homology of these quotients with suitable systems of twisted coefficients…
Let ${\cal M}_{g,n}$, for $2g-2+n>0$, be the moduli stack of $n$-pointed, genus $g$, smooth curves. For a family $C\to S$ of such curves over a connected base and a geometric point $\xi$ on $S$, the associated monodromy representation is…
This monograph introduces a framework for genuine proper equivariant stable homotopy theory for Lie groups. The adjective `proper' alludes to the feature that equivalences are tested on compact subgroups, and that the objects are built from…
For many finite groups a symmetric $2$-cocycle $\alpha$ ($\alpha(g,h)=\alpha(h,g)$, for all pairs $(h,g)$ of the group) with values in $\mathbb{C}^\times$ is a coboundary. We show using a theoretic arguement and GAP that there is a group of…
Let $M$ be a closed 4-manifold with $\pi_2(M)\cong{Z}$. Then $M$ is homotopy equivalent to either $CP^2$, or the total space of an orbifold bundle with general fibre $S^2$ over a 2-orbifold $B$, or the total space of an $RP^2$-bundle over…
We improve homological stability ranges for the orthogonal group, special orthogonal group, elementary orthogonal group and the spin group over a commutative local ring $R$ with infinite residue field such that $2 \in R^{*}$.
We study stability and bifurcations in holomorphic families of polynomial automorphisms of C^2. We say that such a family is weakly stable over some parameter domain if periodic orbits do not bifurcate there. We first show that this defines…
In this paper, we introduce the classification of equivariant principal bundles over the 2-sphere. Isotropy representations provide tools for understanding the classification of equivariant principal bundles. We consider a…
We show that two simple, separable, nuclear and $\mathcal{Z}_0$-stable $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebras are isomorphic if they are trace-preservingly homotopy equivalent. This result does not assume the UCT and can be viewed as a tracial stably…
We calculate $\pi_*K(\mathbb S)[1/2]$, the homotopy groups of $K(\mathbb S)$ away from 2, in terms of the homotopy groups of $K(\mathbb Z)$, the homotopy groups of ${\mathbb C}P^\infty_{-1}$, and the homotopy groups of $\mathbb S$. This…
It is proved that if two quasitoric manifolds of dimension $\le 2p^2-4$ for a prime $p$ have isomorphic cohomology rings, then they have the same $p$-local stable homotopy type.
A spectral sequence calculating the homology groups of some spaces of maps equivariant under compact group actions is described. For the main example, we calculate the rational homology groups of spaces of even and odd maps $S^m \to S^M$,…
We describe some methods to compute fundamental groups, (co)homology, and irregularity of semi-log-canonical surfaces. As an application, we show that there are exactly two irregular Gorenstein stable surfaces with $K^2=1$, both of which…
We calculate the rational representation-ring-graded stable stems for rank 1 groups, SU(2), SO(3), Pin (2), O(2), Spin(2) and SO(2), in the same spirit as the calculations for finite groups in arXiv:2205.02382 with J.D.Quigley. This…
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…
