Stable homology of complex braid groups

Abstract

We compute the stable homology of complex braid groups of types $B(e,e,n)$ and $B(2e,e,n)$ for fixed $e\ge2$ and increasing $n$. This accounts for the stable homology of all infinite families of complex braid groups. We achieve this by explicitly computing a quillenization of their stable classifying spaces. In particular, we provide a proof of an identification of the stable homology of Artin groups of type $D$ claimed by Fuchs in the '70s.
