Presentations of configuration categories

Algebraic Topology 2024-01-02 v2

Abstract

The configuration category of a manifold is a topological category which we view as a Segal space, via the nerve construction. Our main result is that the unordered configuration category, suitably truncated, admits a finite presentation as a complete Segal space if the manifold in question is the interior of a compact manifold.
