Vanishing higher homology conjecture for symmetric-group Hurwitz spaces
Vanishing higher homology conjecture for symmetric-group Hurwitz spaces
Let be a symmetric group on more than two letters, and let be the conjugacy class of transpositions. For each integer , consider the rational homology of the connected Hurwitz space . Vanishing higher homology conjecture. For every ,
vanishes for sufficiently large . This is proposed as a higher-homological analogue of Hurwitz's connectivity theorem and is presented as a conjectural ingredient for understanding stable homology and arithmetic asymptotics.
