Feb 24, 2013 at 9:57 comment added Hicham Yamoul I use the classical the following definition of ordered configuration space: Let $M$ an $m-$dimensional manifold. The space of ordered configurations of $k$ pointsis the space $$F(M,k)=\{(x_1,...,x_k)\in M^k ;x_i\neq x_j for i\neq j \}$$, and we ask to find the rational cohomology of this space.
Feb 24, 2013 at 8:18 comment added Dan Petersen @Lee Mosher: here configuration space means $F(M,k) = M^k \setminus \Delta$ where $\Delta$ is the "big diagonal".

Feb 24, 2013 at 5:14 comment added Lee Mosher Let me rephrase my question. What definition of a configuration space are you using? For example, is the space of k-element subsets of the 2-dimensional disc an example of your type of configuration space? The terminology "configuration space" is not completely standard, hence the need to state what definition you are using.
Feb 23, 2013 at 22:05 comment added Hicham Yamoul I mean how to calculate the rational cohomology of the configuration space of a compact manifold simply connected in general, or if it is possible determinate a model fot the configuration space, i know that Kriz and Totaro gave a model for the configuration spaces $F(M,k)$ when $M$ is a complex projective manifold, but in general case, it is possible to use the same technics to determinate it?
Feb 23, 2013 at 20:04 comment added Lee Mosher What kind of configuration spaces do you have in mind? For example, the configuration space of k points in the 2-dimensional disc is the classifying space of the k-strand braid group, and there is a rather large literature on its properties including its cohomology. Is that an example of what you are asking about?
