Stability in the homology of unipotent groups

Andrew Putman, Steven V Sam and Andrew Snowden

Vol. 14 (2020), No. 1, 119–154

Abstract

Let R be a (not necessarily commutative) ring whose additive group is finitely generated and let Un(R) GLn(R) be the group of upper-triangular unipotent matrices over R. We study how the homology groups of Un(R) vary with n from the point of view of representation stability. Our main theorem asserts that if for each n we have representations Mn of Un(R) over a ring k that are appropriately compatible and satisfy suitable finiteness hypotheses, then the rule [n]Hi(Un(R),Mn) defines a finitely generated OI-module. As a consequence, if k is a field then dimHi(Un(R),k) is eventually equal to a polynomial in n. We also prove similar results for the Iwahori subgroups of GLn(𝒪) for number rings 𝒪.
