Abstract

We show for $g \geq 7$ that the second homology group of the Torelli group, $H_{2} (ℐ_{g, 1}; ℚ)$ , is generated as an $Sp (2 g, ℤ)$ –module by the image of $H_{2} (ℐ_{6, 1}; ℚ)$ under the stabilization map. In the process we also show that the quotient $B (F_{g, i}; i) ∕ ℐ_{g, i}$ by the Torelli group of the complex of arcs with identity permutation is $(g - 2)$ –connected for $i = 1, 2$ .
