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…

In this paper we introduce and develop the theory of FI-modules. We apply this theory to obtain new theorems about: - the cohomology of the configuration space of n distinct ordered points on an arbitrary (connected, oriented) manifold -…

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…

Let C_n(M) be the configuration space of n distinct ordered points in M. We prove that if M is any connected orientable manifold (closed or open), the homology groups H_i(C_n(M); Q) are representation stable in the sense of [Church-Farb].…

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…

We introduce the idea of *representation stability* (and several variations) for a sequence of representations V_n of groups G_n. A central application of the new viewpoint we introduce here is the importation of representation theory into…

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…

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…

We prove geometric and cohomological stabilization results for the universal smooth degree $d$ hypersurface section of a fixed smooth projective variety as $d$ goes to infinity. We show that relative configuration spaces of the universal…

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…

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 article we introduce the space of configurations of commuting elements in a topological group and show that it satisfies rational homological stability for the sequences of unitary, special unitary and symplectic groups. We also…

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…

Using the language of twisted skew-commutative algebras, we define \emph{secondary representation stability}, a stability pattern in the {\it unstable} homology of spaces that are representation stable in the sense of Church, Ellenberg, and…

We prove two general results concerning spectral sequences of $\mathbf{FI}$-modules. These results can be used to significantly improve stable ranges in a large portion of the stability theorems for $\mathbf{FI}$-modules currently in the…

We introduce a technique for proving quantitative representation stability theorems for sequences of representations of certain finite linear groups over a field of characteristic zero. In particular, we prove a vanishing result for higher…

We consider two families X_n of varieties on which the symmetric group S_n acts: the configuration space of n points in C and the space of n linearly independent lines in C^n. Given an irreducible S_n-representation V, one can ask how the…

We consider for two based graphs $G$ and $H$ the sequence of graphs $G_k$ given by the wedge sum of $G$ and $k$ copies of $H$. These graphs have an action of the symmetric group $\Sigma_k$ by permuting the $H$-summands. We show that the…
