Configuration spaces of commuting elements

From MaRDI portal





In the paper under review, the authors introduce the notion of space \(\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}_k(G)= \{(g_1,\dots,g_k)\in \mathrm{Conf}_k(G) |g_ig_j = g_jg_i, \forall I,j \in \{1,\dots,k\} \}\) of configurations of \(k\)-commuting elements in a topological group \(G\) (Definition 1.1) and showed that it satisfies rational homological stability for the sequences of unitary, special unitary and symplectic groups or their finite product \(\mathcal P\). The conjugation action of \(G\) on \(\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}_k(G)\) provides a cohomological principal bundle \(G \times \mathrm{Conf}_k(T) \to \mathrm{Conf}^{ab}_k(G)\) with respect to a maximal torus \(T\) of \(G\). The authors then found an inclusion of \(\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}_k(G)\) into \(\mathrm{Hom}(\mathbb Z^k,G)\). The main results of the paper are:\N\NFor the groups \(G=G_r\) being one of the classical unitary groups \(U_r\) or the special unitary group \(SU_{r+1}\) or the symplectic groups \(Sp_r\), with \(k \geq 1\) and \(r \geq n+2\) for \(Sp_r\), or \(r \geq \max\{(n+k-1)/2, n+2\}\) for \(G_r = U_r\) or \(r \geq \max\{(n+k-3)/2, n+2\}\) for \(G_r = SU_{r+1}\), the sequence \(\{\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}(G_r)\}\}_{r\geq 1}\) satisfies the strong rational homological stability, i.e. \(H_i(\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}(G_r)) \cong H_{i+1}(\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}(G_{r+1}))\) for large enough \(i \geq N(i)\) (Theorem 2.2).\N\NFor a group \(G\) in the product family \(\mathcal P\) of rank \(\geq 2\) and any non-negative integer \(j\), the sequences of \(\Sigma_k\)-representations \(\{H^j\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}(G);\mathbb Q)\}_{k\geq 1}\) satisfy the uniform representation stability, i.e. \(H^j\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}(G_r), \mathbb Q) \cong H^{j+1}(\mathrm{Conf}^{ab}(G_{r+1}), \mathbb Q)\) for large enough \(j \geq N(j)\)(Theorem 2.4).
