We prove a slope 1 stability range for the homology of the symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups with respect to the hyperbolic form, over any fields other than $F_2$, improving the known range by a factor 2 in the case of finite…

Any two homologous surfaces of the same genus embedded in a smooth 4-manifold X with simply-connected complements are shown to be smoothly isotopic in the connected sum of X and the product of a 2-sphere with itself, if the surfaces are…

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 construct infinite families of topologically isotopic but smoothly distinct knotted spheres in many simply connected 4-manifolds that become smoothly isotopic after stabilizing by connected summing with $S^2 \times S^2$, and as a…

We compute the topological mapping class group of every compact, simply connected, topological 4-manifold. This was previously only known in the closed case. If the 4-manifold is smooth, we deduce an analogous description of the stable…

We prove that every stable Hamiltonian structure on a closed oriented three-manifold is stably homotopic to one which is supported (with suitable signs) by an open book.

The configuration space of k points on a manifold carries an action of its diffeomorphism group. The homotopy quotient of this action is equivalent to the classifying space of diffeomorphisms of a punctured manifold, and therefore admits…

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 discuss how stability is related to the D-topology of mapping spaces, equipped with the functional diffeology. Indeed, we show that stable classes of mapping spaces are D-open. After a reformulation of the classical stability theorem of…

We prove that any ascending chain of bounded rank subgroups in the fundamental group of a compact $3$-manifold stabilizes. We use geometrization to reduce the proof to fundamental groups of complete, finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifolds.…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold with a given Heegaard splitting. We show that after a single stabilization, some core of the stabilized splitting has arbitrarily high distance with respect to the splitting surface. This generalizes a result of…

In this article, we classify (non-compact) $3$-manifolds with uniformly positive scalar curvature. Precisely, we show that an oriented $3$-manifold has a complete metric with uniformly positive scalar curvature if and only if it is…

Homological stability for unordered configuration spaces of connected manifolds was discovered by Th. Church and extended by O. Randal-Williams and B. Knudsen: $H_i(C_k(M);\mathbb{Q})$ is constant for $k\geq f(i)$. We characterize the…

In this paper, we shall prove that any Heegaard splitting of a $\partial$-reducible 3-manifold $M$, say $M=W\cup V$, can be obtained by doing connected sums, boundary connected sums and self-boundary connected sums from Heegaard splittings…

Let M_1 and M_2 be compact, orientable 3-manifolds with incompressible boundary, and M the manifold obtained by gluing with a homeomorphism $\phi:\bdy M_1 \to \bdy M_2$. We analyze the relationship between the sets of low genus Heegaard…

In this article, we study the behavior of the stability of pullback of a vector bundle under a finite morphism from a (not necessarily smooth) stacky curve to an orbifold curve. We establish a categorical equivalence between proper formal…

For each g greater than one there is a 3-manifold with two genus g Heegaard splittings that require g stabilizations to become equivalent. Previously known examples required at most one stabilization. Control of families of Heegaard…

In this paper we continue an earlier study of ends non-compact manifolds. The over-arching goal is to investigate and obtain generalizations of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem that may be applied to manifolds having non-stable…

Let M be an open, connected manifold. A classical theorem of McDuff and Segal states that the sequence of configuration spaces of n unordered, distinct points in M is homologically stable with coefficients in Z: in each degree, the integral…

This paper is motivated by recent developments in group stability, high dimensional expansion, local testability of error correcting codes and topological property testing. In Part I, we formulate and motivate three stability problems: 1.…
