On the rational cohomology of spin hyperelliptic mapping class groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Let $G$ be the subgroup $S_{n−q} \times S_q$ of the $n$-th symmetric group $S_n$ for $n-q \ge q$. In this talk, we study the $G$-invariant part of the rational cohomology group of the pure braid group $P_n$. The invariant part $H^*(P_n)^G$ includes the rational cohomology of a spin hyperelliptic mapping class group of genus $g$ as a subalgebra when $n=2g+2$. Based on the study of Lehrer-Solomon, we prove that they are independent of n and q in degree $* \le q-1$. We also give a formula to calculate the dimension of $H^* (P_n)^G$ and calculate it in all degree for $q \le 3$.
