Homological Stability for Spaces of Commuting Elements in Lie Groups
Homological Stability for Spaces of Commuting Elements in Lie Groups
Abstract In this paper, we study homological stability for spaces $\textrm{Hom}({{\mathbb{Z}}}^n,G)$ of pairwise commuting $n$-tuples in a Lie group $G$. We prove that for each $n\geqslant 1$, these spaces satisfy rational homological stability as $G$ ranges through any of the classical sequences of compact, connected Lie groups, or their complexifications. …
