Diffeomorphisms of discs and the second Weiss derivative of BTop(-)

Manuel Krannich, Oscar Randal-Williams

We compute the rational homotopy groups in degrees up to approximately d of the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed d-dimensional disc fixing the boundary. Based on…

Mapping class groups of simply connected high-dimensional manifolds need not be arithmetic

Manuel Krannich, Oscar Randal-Williams

It is well known that Sullivan showed that the mapping class group of a simply connected high-dimensional manifold is commensurable with an arithmetic group, but the meaning of "co…

On Torelli groups and Dehn twists of smooth 4-manifolds

Manuel Krannich, Alexander Kupers

This note has two related but independent parts. Firstly, we prove a generalisation of a recent result of Gay on the smooth mapping class group of . Secondly, we give an alter…

Finiteness properties of automorphism spaces of manifolds with finite fundamental group

Mauricio Bustamante, Manuel Krannich, Alexander Kupers

Given a closed smooth manifold of even dimension with finite fundamental group, we show that the classifying space of the diffeomorphism group of …

Embedding calculus for surfaces

Manuel Krannich, Alexander Kupers

We prove convergence of Goodwillie-Weiss' embedding calculus for spaces of embeddings into a manifold of dimension at most two, so in particular for diffeomorphisms between surface…
