FI-modules and the cohomology of modular representations of symmetric groups

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for a "finitely generated" FI-module over a field of characteristic $p, the cohomology groups are eventually periodic in $n.

Stability in the homology of congruence subgroups

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the homology groups of congruence subgroups satisfy a strong version of representation stability, called central stability, which is defined via a universal property.

A spectral sequence for stratified spaces and configuration spaces of points

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectral sequence associated to a stratified space is constructed, which computes the compactly supported cohomology groups of an open stratum in terms of the closed strata and the reduced cohomologies groups of the poset of strata.

FI_W-modules and stability criteria for representations of the classical Weyl groups

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an algebraic framework for studying sequences of representations of any of the three families of classical Weyl groups, extending work of Church, Ellenberg, Farb, and Nagpal on the symmetric groups S_n to the signed permutation groups B_n and D_n. The theory of FI_W-modules gives a conceptual framework for stability results such as these.

Symmetric group characters as symmetric functions

TL;DR: In this article, a basis of symmetric functions that evaluates to the irreducible characters of the symmetric group was introduced, and three different characterizations for this basis were given.
