Abstract: We study the moduli space of handlebodies diffeomorphic to $(D^{n+1}imes{S}^n{)}^{aturalg}$, i.e. the classifying space $BDiff((D^{n+1}imes{S}^n{)}^{aturalg},D^{2n})$ of the group of diffeomorphisms that restrict to the identity near a $2n$-dimensional disk embedded in the boundary, $partial(D^{n+1}imes{S}^n{)}^{aturalg}$. We construct a map $coli{m}_{goinfty}BDiff((D^{n+1}imes{S}^n{)}^{aturalg},D^{2n})longrightarrow{Q}_{0}BO(2n+1)langlenangl{e}_{+}$ and prove that it induces an isomorphism on integral homology in the case that $2n+1geq9$. Above, $BO(2n+1)langlenangle$ denotes the $n$-connective cover of $BO(2n+1)$. The (co)homology of the space $Q_{0}BO(2n+1)langlenangl{e}_{+}$ is well understood and so our results enable one to compute the homology groups $H_k(BDiff((D^{n+1}imes{S}^n{)}^{aturalg},D^{2n}))$ in a range of degrees when $k<<g$. Our main theorem can be viewed as an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for the moduli spaces of surfaces and the recent theorem of Galatius and Randal-Williams for the moduli spaces of manifolds of dimension $2ngeq6$.
