Title
Representation Stability for Marked Graph Complexes

Abstract
We prove a representation stability result for graph complexes with a distinguished vertex, and show how chains realizing this sharp bound represent graph homology classes which are necessarily non-trivial.  This result may be interpreted as a higher genus generalization of Hersh and Reiner's sharp stability bound for configuration spaces of points in odd dimensional Euclidean space, and we will spend some time recalling their result to make this analogy concrete.
