Abstract

I will explain an identification of the cohomology of the stable classifying space of homotopy automorphisms (relative to an embedded
disk) of connected sums of S^k x S^l, where 2 < k < l < 2k - 1.
The result is expressed in terms of Lie graph complex homology, the construction of which I will recall.
