Abstract

We consider, for a finite graph GG, when the surjective map Confn+1(G)Confn(G)\mathrm{Conf}_{n+1}(G) \rightarrow \mathrm{Conf}_n(G) of configuration spaces admits a section. We study when the answer depends only on the homotopy type of GG, and give a complete answer. We also provide basic techniques for construction of sections.
