Abstract

For any vector r=(r1,...,rn)r=(r_1,..., r_n), let MrM_r denote the moduli space (under rigid motions) of polygons in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with nn-sides whose lengths are r1,...,rnr_1,...,r_n. We give an explicit characterization of the oriented S1S^1-cobordism class of MrM_r which depends uniquely on the length vector rr.
