Rational Models of the Complement of a Subpolyhedron in a Manifold with Boundary
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Let $W$ be a compact simply connected triangulated manifold with boundary and let $K\,\subset \,W$ be a subpolyhedron. We construct an algebraic model of the rational homotopy type of $W\text{ }\!\!\backslash\!\!\text{ K}$ out of a model of the map of pairs $\left( K,\,K\cap \partial W \right)\,\to \,\left( W,\,\partial W \right)$ under some high codimension hypothesis.
We deduce the rational homotopy invariance of the configuration space of two points in a compact manifold with boundary under 2-connectedness hypotheses. Also, we exhibit nice explicit models of these configuration spaces for a large class of compact manifolds.
