(Discrete) Morse theory on configuration spaces (Q2428839)

Let \(A\) be a hyperplane arrangement in \(\mathbb R^n\). For each \(d >0\), one has a \(d\)-complexification \(A^{(d)} \subset \mathbb R^{nd}\) of \(A\). The configuration space associated to \(A\) is the complement to the subspace arrangement: \(M(A)^{(d)}= (\mathbb R^n)^d \setminus \bigcup_{H \in A} H^{(d)}\). The main result is an explicit construction of a minimal CW-complex for the configuration space \(M(A)^{(d)}\) for all \(d \geq 1\).
