Representation stability for the cohomology of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g}^n$

Rita Jimenez Rolland

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 11 (2011) 3011–3041
Abstract

Let gn be the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus g with n labeled marked points. We prove that, for g 2, the cohomology groups {Hi(gn; )}n=1 form a sequence of Sn–representations which is representation stable in the sense of Church–Farb. In particular this result applied to the trivial Sn–representation implies rational “puncture homological stability” for the mapping class group  Modgn. We obtain representation stability for sequences {Hi( PModn(M); )}n=1, where  PModn(M) is the mapping class group of many connected orientable manifolds M of dimension d 3 with centerless fundamental group; and for sequences {HiB PDiffn(M); }n=1, where B PDiffn(M) is the classifying space of the subgroup  PDiffn(M) of diffeomorphisms of M that fix pointwise n distinguished points in M.
