Abstract
For a partially multiplicative quandle (PMQ) we consider the topological monoid of Hurwitz spaces of configurations in the plane with local monodromies in . We compute the group completion of : it is the product of the (discrete) enveloping group with a component of the double loop space of the relative Hurwitz space ; here is any group giving rise, together with , to a PMQ-group pair. Assuming further that is finite and rationally Poincare and that is finite, we compute the rational cohomology ring of .
