Description
Functor homology (i.e. homological algebra in functor categories) on a suitable category allow us to compute some stable homology of linear groups, orthogonal groups or symplectic groups with twisted coefficients.
Little is known concerning stable homology of automorphism groups of free groups with twisted coefficients. We have cancellation results, several computations in small degree by Satoh and explicit classes constructed by Kawazumi. Homology of functors from groups to abelian groups should help us to better understand stable homology of automorphism groups of free groups with twisted coefficients.
In this talk, I will explain the previous motivation for the study of homology of functors from groups to abelian groups and I will give several results concerning this functor homology.
