  Cellular E_2-algebras and the unstable homology of mapping class groups

  3-4pm, E203; pretalk 1:30-2:30 in E203

  We discuss joint work with Soren Galatius and Oscar Randal-Williams on the application of higher-algebraic techniques to classical questions about the homology of mapping class groups. This uses a new multiplicative" approach to homological stability - in contrast to the ädditive" one due to Quillen - which has the advantage of providing information outside of the stable range."

If you have any questions, please contact Dylan Wilson or Zev Chonoles.
