Discrete configuration-space models for framed cube complexes

About 1 year old · traced to

Let KK be a cube complex such that, if i≤ki\leq k, every ii-cube in KK is the face of some kk-cube. Assume moreover that KK is framed away from some codimension-22 subspace. For a positive integer nn, let K(n)K(n) denote the nn-fold subdivision of KK.

Discrete configuration-space conjecture. For all m≤nm\leq n, the ordered configuration space of mm points in K(n)K(n) is homotopy equivalent to the mmth discrete ordered configuration space of K(n)K(n).

This conjecture proposes a common discrete model for ordered configuration spaces in sufficiently subdivided pure-dimensional cube complexes with a well-defined frame, extending the surface models discussed in the paper. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or refuted.
