Abstract
For a graph , let Conf denote the classical configuration space of labelled points in . Abrams introduced a cubical complex, denoted here by DConf, sitting inside Conf as a strong deformation retract provided is suitably subdivided. Using discrete Morse Theory techniques, we extend Abrams' result to the realm of configurations having no -fold collisions.
