Abstract

We construct a group Γn4\Gamma_{n}^{4} corresponding to the motion of points in R3\mathbb{R}^{3} from the point of view of Delaunay triangulations. We study homomorphisms from pure braids on nn strands to the product of copies of Γn4\Gamma_{n}^{4}. We will also study the group of pure braids in R3\mathbb{R}^{3}, which is described by a fundamental group of the restricted configuration space of R3\mathbb{R}^{3}, and define the group homomorphism from the group of pure braids in R3\mathbb{R}^{3} to Γn4\Gamma_{n}^{4}. In the end of this paper we give some comments about relations between the restricted configuration space of R3\mathbb{R}^{3} and triangulations of the 3-dimensional ball and Pachner moves.
