The integral cohomology of the group of loops

Craig A Jensen, Jon McCammond and John Meier

Geometry & Topology 10 (2006) 759–784

arXiv: 0903.0140

Abstract

Let  PΣn denote the group that can be thought of either as the group of motions of the trivial n–component link or the group of symmetric automorphisms of a free group of rank n. The integral cohomology ring of  PΣn is determined, establishing a conjecture of Brownstein and Lee.
