Configuration spaces of an embedding torus and cubical spaces
Abstract
For a smooth manifold M obtained as an embedding torus, A U Cx[-1,1], we consider the ordered configuration space Fk(M) of k distinct points in M. We show that there is a homotopical cubical resolution of Fk(M) defined from the configuration spaces of A and C. From it, we deduce a universal method for the computation of the pure braid groups of a manifold. We illustrate the method in the case of the Mobius band.
