We show that the ith cohomology group with coefficients in a field H^i(PConf^n M, k) is an N-module, where N is the category of noncommutative finite sets introduced by Pirashvili and Richter. Studying the representation theory of N, we obtain new polynomiality results for the cohomology groups H^i(PConf^n M, k). In the case of unordered configuration space Conf^n M = (PConf^n M)/S_n and rational coefficients, we show that cohomology dimension in fixed degree is nondecreasing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-08-10T21:19:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55R80", "20J99", "20C15" ], "keywords": [ "configuration space", "algebraic structures", "ith cohomology group", "distinct points", "polynomiality results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150802430E" } } }
