We introduce ordered and unordered configuration spaces of 'clusters' of points in an Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, where points in each cluster satisfy a 'verticality' condition, depending on a decomposition $d=p+q$. We compute the…
Classification is an important goal in many branches of mathematics. The idea is to describe the members of some class of mathematical objects, up to isomorphism or other important equivalence in terms of relatively simple invariants. Where…
The total homology of the loop space of the configuration space of ordered distinct n points in R^m has a structure of a Hopf algebra defined by the 4-term relations if m>2. We describe a relation of between the cohomology of this loop…
Configuration spaces form a rich class of topological objects which are not usually presented to an undergraduate audience. Our aim is to present configuration spaces in a manner accessible to the advanced undergraduate. We begin with a…
We show that the configuration spaces of a product of parallelizable manifolds may be recovered from those of the factors as the Boardman-Vogt tensor product of right modules over the operads of little cubes of the appropriate dimension. We…
We demonstrate that Joyal's category Theta_n, which is central to numerous definitions of (infinity,n)-categories, naturally encodes the homotopy type of configuration spaces of marked points in R^n. This article is largely self-contained…
We calculate the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the k-th ordered configuration spaces F(R^n,k) of R^n and give bounds for the category of the corresponding unordered configuration spaces B(R^n,k) and the sectional category of the…
This paper is a sequel to "Localization of $\frak{u}$-modules. I", hep-th/9411050. We are starting here the geometric study of the tensor category $\cal{C}$ associated with a quantum group (corresponding to a Cartan matrix of finite type)…
In this paper we continue to study various types of closures in $S(n)$-spaces. The main results are related to the construction and illustration of examples that allow us to understand the relationship between $S(n)$-closed,…
Hard disks systems are often considered as prototypes for simple fluids. In a statistical mechanics context, the hard disk configuration space is generally quotiented by the action of various symmetry groups. The changes in the topological…
In this paper we calculate the homology of configuration spaces of $n$ points on a circle, subject to the condition that two pre-determined points are included in the configuration. We make use of discrete Morse theory both to determine the…
The perturbative Chern-Simons theory for knots in Euclidean space is a linear combination of integrals on configuration spaces. This has been successively studied by Bott and Taubes, Altschuler and Freidel, and Yang. We study it again in…
We construct a completed version C(Gamma) of the configuration space of a linkage Gamma in R^3 which takes into account the ways one link can touch another. We also describe a simplified version of C(Gamma) which is a blow-up of the space…
Coherent spaces spanned by a finite number of coherent states, are introduced. Their coherence properties are studied, using the Dirac contour representation. It is shown that the corresponding projectors resolve the identity, and that they…
From a group action on a space, define a variant of the configuration space by insisting that no two points inhabit the same orbit. When the action is almost free, this "orbit configuration space" is the complement of an arrangement of…
In this article we studied the relationship between metric spaces and multiplicative metric spaces. Also, we pointed out some fixed and common fixed point results under some contractive conditions in multiplicative metric spaces can be…
We present some methods for constructing connected spatial geometric configurations $(p_{q}, n_{k})$ of points and lines, preserved by the same rotations (and reflections) of Euclidean space $E^{3}$ as the chosen Platonic solid. In this…
Central configurations are solutions of the equations $\lambda m_j\boldsymbol{q}_j = \frac{\partial U}{\partial \boldsymbol{q}_j}$, where $U$ denotes the potential function and each $\boldsymbol{q}_j$ is a point in the $d$-dimensional…
The aim of this note is to describe a geometric relation between simple plane curve singularities classified by simply laced Cartan matrices and cluster varieties of finite type also classified by the simply laced Cartan matrices. We…
We study a realization of motion and similarity group equivalence classes of $n\geq 1$ labeled points in $\mathbb R^k,\, k\geq 1$ as a metric space with a computable metric. Our study is motivated by applications in computer vision.
