Abstract: The cohomology of the pure string motion group PSigma_n admits a natural action by the hyperoctahedral group W_n. Church and Farb conjectured that for each k > 0, the sequence of degree k rational cohomology groups of PSigma_n is uniformly representation stable with respect to the induced action by W_n, that is, the description of the groups' decompositions into irreducible W_n representations stabilizes for n >> k. We use a characterization of the cohomology groups given by Jensen, McCammond, and Meier to prove this conjecture. Using a transfer argument, we further deduce that the rational cohomology groups of the string motion group vanish in positive degree. We also prove that the subgroup of orientation-preserving string motions, also known as the braid-permutation group, is rationally cohomologically stable in the classical sense.
