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 in the sense of Church-Farb [CF]. In particular this result applied to the trivial Sn representation implies rational \"puncture homological stability\" for the mapping class group Mod_g^n. We obtain representation stability for sequences {H^i(PMod^n(M);Q)}_{n=1}^{\\infty}, where PMod^n(M) is the mapping class group of many connected manifolds M of dimension d \\geq 3 with centerless fundamental group; and for sequences {H^i(BPDiff^n(M);Q)}_{n=1}^{\\infty}, where BPDiff^n(M) is the classifying space of the subgroup PDiff^n(M) of diffeomorphisms of M that fix pointwise n distinguished points in M.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-10-11T19:19:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "moduli space", "representation stability", "mapping class group", "trivial sn representation implies rational", "cohomology" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.0947J" } } }
