Koszul DG-algebras arising from configuration spaces (Q1321625)

Let \(X_n\) be the configuration space of \(n\)-tuples of distinct points on a smooth \(\ell\)-dimensional projective variety, \(X\), over \(\mathbb{C}\). The manifold, \(X_n\), has a rational model, \(E_n (X)\), given explicitly by \textit{I. Kriz} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 39, No. 2, 227-237 (1994; Zbl 0829.55008; see the review above)]. Here the author writes down an explicit Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt type basis for \(E_n (X)\). The consequences in the case where \(\dim X = 1\) are examined including an explicit description of the Malcev nilpotent completion of \(\pi_1 (X_n)\).
