Homological stability of diffeomorphism groups of high dimensional manifolds via $E_k$-algebras

We will study homological stability of the diffeomorphism groups of the manifolds $W_{g,1}:=D^{2n}\mathrm{\#}(S^n\times S^n{)}^{\mathrm{\#}g}$ using $E_k$-algebras. This will lead to new improvements in the stability results, especially when working with rational coefficients. Moreover, we will prove a new type of stability result – quantised homological stability – which says that either the best stability result is a linear bound of slope $1\mathrm{/}2$ or the stability is at least as good as a line of slope $2\mathrm{/}3$.
