Linking Forms, Singularities, and Homological Stability for Diffeomorphism Groups of Odd Dimensional Manifolds

Let n > 1. We prove a homological stability theorem for the diffeomorphism groups of (4n+1)-dimensional manifolds, with respect to forming the connected sum with (2n-1)-connected, (4n+1)-dimensional manifolds that are stably parallelizable. Our techniques involve the study of the a...
