Comments welcome!", "categories": [ "math.AT", "math.GT" ], "abstract": "We consider moduli spaces of $d$-dimensional manifolds with embedded particles and discs. In this moduli space, the location of the particles and discs is constrained by the $d$-dimensional manifold. We will compare this moduli space with the moduli space of $d$-dimensional manifolds in which the location of such decorations is no longer constrained, i.e. the decorations are decoupled. We generalise work by B\\\"odigheimer--Tillmann for oriented surfaces and obtain new results for surfaces with different tangential structures as well as to higher dimensional manifolds. We also provide a generalisation of this result to moduli spaces with more general submanifold decorations and specialise in the case of decorations being unparametrised unlinked circles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-04T15:37:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55R40", "57R15", "57R50", "57S05", "55R80" ], "keywords": [ "moduli space", "decoupling decorations", "general submanifold decorations", "higher dimensional manifolds", "generalise work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
