Moduli spaces of manifolds: a user's guide

S Galatius, O Randal-Williams - Handbook of homotopy theory, 2020 - taylorfrancis.com
The study of manifolds and invariants of manifolds was begun more than a century ago. In
this entry we shall discuss the parametrised setting: invariants of families of manifolds …

Characteristic classes for flat Diff (M)-foliations

S Hurder - arXiv preprint arXiv:2311.09160, 2023 - arxiv.org
In this work we relate the known results about the homotopy type of classifying spaces for
smooth foliations, with the homology and cohomology of the discrete group of …

[HTML][HTML] Infinite loop spaces from operads with homological stability

M Basterra, I Bobkova, K Ponto, U Tillmann… - Advances in …, 2017 - Elsevier
Motivated by the operad built from moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, we consider a
general class of operads in the category of spaces that satisfy certain homological stability …

Representation stability, secondary stability, and polynomial functors

J Miller, P Patzt, D Petersen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1910.05574, 2019 - arxiv.org
We prove a general representation stability result for polynomial coefficient systems which
lets us prove representation stability and secondary homological stability for many families …

[PDF][PDF] Homological instability for moduli spaces of smooth 4-manifolds

H Konno, J Lin - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.03043, 2022 - researchgate.net
We prove that homological stability fails for the moduli space of any simplyconnected closed
smooth 4-manifold in any degree of homology, unlike what happens in all dimensions‰ 4 …

On invariants of foliated sphere bundles

S Nariman - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.16310, 2023 - arxiv.org
Morita showed that for each power of the Euler class, there are examples of flat $\mathbb
{S}^ 1$-bundles for which the power of the Euler class does not vanish. Haefliger asked if …

Homological stability and stable moduli of flat manifold bundles

S Nariman - Advances in Mathematics, 2017 - Elsevier
We prove that the group homology of the diffeomorphism group of# g S n× S n\int (D 2 n) as
a discrete group is independent of g in a range, provided that n> 2. This answers the high …

Quasicomplementary foliations and the Mather–Thurston theorem

G Meigniez - Geometry & Topology, 2021 - msp.org
We establish a form of the h–principle for the existence of foliations of codimension at least 2
which are quasicomplementary to a given one. Roughly,“quasicomplementary” means that …

On flat manifold bundles and the connectivity of Haefliger's classifying spaces

S Nariman - Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2024 - ams.org
We investigate a conjecture due to Haefliger and Thurston in the context of foliated manifold
bundles. In this context, Haefliger-Thurston's conjecture predicts that every $ M $-bundle …
