Configuration Spaces: Geometry, Topology and Representation Theory (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2016)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2016, 22 April 2018

This book collects the scientific contributions of a group of leading experts who took part in the INdAM Meeting held in Cortona in September 2014. With combinatorial techniques as the central theme, it focuses on recent developments in configuration spaces from various perspectives. It also discusses their applications in areas ranging from representation theory, toric geometry and geometric group theory to applied algebraic topology.
