‟Acyclicity of homeomorphism groups of stable Stone spaces” by Mladen Bestvina, Michael C. Kopreski, and Rachel Skipper

Abstract:

A stable second-countable Stone space is a closed subspace of the Cantor space with nice local structure. Examples arise as the end spaces of stable infinite-type surfaces and graphs. We classify the acyclicity of the homeomorphism groups of such spaces and describe progress toward computing their homology when not acyclic. These results are joint work with Mladen Bestvina and Rachel Skipper.
