We develop a theory of equivariant group presentations and relate them to the second homology group of a group. Our main application says that the second homology group of the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group is finitely…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed genus $g$ surface that contains the Torelli group. For instance, $\Gamma$ can be the level $L$ subgroup or the spin mapping class group. We show that…

The Torelli group of a genus $g$ oriented surface $\Sigma_g$ is the subgroup $\mathcal{I}_g$ of the mapping class group ${\rm Mod}(\Sigma_g)$ consisting of all mapping classes that act trivially on ${\rm H}_1(\Sigma_g, \mathbb{Z})$. The…

Let S be a connected, compact and orientable surface of genus two having exactly one boundary component. We study automorphisms of the Torelli complex for S, and describe any isomorphism between finite index subgroups of the Torelli group…

We prove a representation stability result for the second homology groups of Torelli subgroups of mapping class groups and automorphism groups of free groups. This strengthens the results of Boldsen-Hauge Dollerup and Day-Putman. We also…

We prove that second rational homology of the Torelli group of an orientable closed surface of genus g is finite dimensional for g at least 51. This rules out the simplest obstruction to the Torelli group being finitely presented and…

Let $S_g$ be a closed, oriented surface of genus $g$, and let $\operatorname{Mod}(S_g)$ denote its mapping class group. The Torelli group $\mathcal{I}_g$ is the subgroup of $\operatorname{Mod}(S_g)$ consisting of mapping classes that act…

We calculate the second rational homology group of the Torelli group for $g \geq 6$.

We study the algebraic property of the representation of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus 2 constructed by VFR Jones [Annals of Math. 126 (1987) 335-388]. It arises from the Iwahori-Hecke algebra representations…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus at least two over the complex numbers. A pair (E,\phi) over X consists of an algebraic vector bundle E over X and a holomorphic section \phi of E. There is a concept of stability for pairs which…

The Torelli group of $W_g = \#^g S^n \times S^n$ is the subgroup of the diffeomorphisms of $W_g$ fixing a disc which act trivially on $H_n(W_g;Z)$. The rational cohomology groups of the Torelli group are representations of an arithmetic…

To every $Q$-irreducible representation $r$ of a finite group $H$, there corresponds a simple factor $A$ of $Q[H]$ with an involution $\tau$. To this pair $(A,\tau)$, we associate an arithmetic group $\Omega$ consisting of all $(2g-2)\times…

We improve the central stability ranges for H2(Torelli subgroup of Aut(Fn)'s) as GL_n(Z)-representations, H2(Torelli subgroup of mapping class groups) as Sp_2g(Z)-representations, Hk(congruence subgroups of GL_n(R)'s) as…

Let $s$ be a fixed hyperelliptic involution of the closed, oriented genus $g$ surface $\Sigma_g$. The hyperelliptic Torelli group $\mathcal{SI}_g$ is the subgroup of the mapping class group $\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma_g)$ consisting of elements…

We consider the moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a surface of genus g greater than 2 in the Lie groups SU(2,2) and Sp(4,R). It is well known that there is a characteristic number of such a representation, whose…

We prove a new kind of stabilisation result, "secondary homological stability", for the homology of mapping class groups of orientable surfaces with one boundary component. These results are obtained by constructing CW approximations to the…

We prove two theorems about the Malcev Lie algebra associated to the Torelli group of a surface of genus $g$: stably, it is Koszul and the kernel of the Johnson homomorphism consists only of trivial $Sp_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$-representations…

We prove a general representation stability result for polynomial coefficient systems which lets us prove representation stability and secondary homological stability for many families of groups with polynomial coefficients. This gives two…

We give a new technique for constructing presentations by generators and relations for representations of groups like $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ and $Sp_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$. Our results play an important role in recent work of the authors calculating…

We study the first homology group of the mapping class group and Torelli group with coefficients in the first rational homology group of the universal abelian cover of the surface. We prove two contrasting results: for surfaces with one…
