Homotopy decomposition of diagonal arrangements

Abstract: Given a space

X

and a simplicial complex

K

with

m

-vertices, the arrangement of partially diagonal subspaces of

X^{m}

, called the dragonal arrangement, is defined. We decompose the suspension of the diagonal arrangement when

2 (d i m K + 1) < m

, which generalizes the result of Labassi. As a corollary, we calculate the Euler characteristic of the complement when

X

is a closed connected manifold.
