Abstract

We prove a homological stability theorem for the diffeomorphism groups of high-dimensional manifolds with boundary, with respect to forming the boundary connected sum with the product $D^{p + 1} \times S^{q}$ for $| q - p | < min {p - 2, q - 3}$ . In a recent joint paper with B Botvinnik, we prove that there is an isomorphism

{colim}_{g \to \infty} H_{*} (BDiff ({(D^{n + 1} \times S^{n})}^{♮ g}, D^{2 n}); ℤ) ≅ H_{*} (Q_{0} B O (2 n + 1) {〈 n 〉}_{+}; ℤ)

in the case that $n \geq 4$ . By combining this “stable homology” calculation with the homological stability theorem of this paper, we obtain the isomorphism

H_{k} (BDiff ({(D^{n + 1} \times S^{n})}^{♮ g}, D^{2 n}); ℤ) ≅ H_{k} (Q_{0} B O (2 n + 1) {〈 n 〉}_{+}; ℤ)

in the case that $k \leq \frac{1}{2} (g - 4)$ .
