The cohomology rings of the unordered configuration spaces of elliptic curves (Q2663389)

The author studies the cohomology ring with rational coefficients of the configuration spaces of unordered points in an elliptic curve \(E\). He provides a full description of its mixed Hodge structure, of the action of the mapping class group and of its ring structure. These results are obtained by using the Kriz model, introduced first by \textit{I. Kříž} [Ann. Math. (2) 139, No. 2, 227--237 (1994; Zbl 0829.55008)], and then studied by \textit{B. Totaro} [Topology 35, No. 4, 1057--1067 (1996; Zbl 0857.57025)], \textit{C. Bibby} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 144, No. 7, 3093--3104 (2016; Zbl 1346.52008)] and \textit{C. Dupont} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 65, No. 6, 2507--2545 (2015; Zbl 1332.14015)]. More precisely, the author improves the result on the decomposition of the Kriz Model by proving that it decomposes as \(\mathfrak{S}_n\times\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q})\mbox{-}\)representations. The actions of \(\mathfrak{S}_n\) and of \(\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q})\) on the Kriz model are induced by the natural actions of \(\mathfrak{S}_n\) and of the mapping class group \(\operatorname{MCG}(E)\) on the configuration space of \(n\) ordered points on \(E\). Then, by computing the cohomology of the model, the author determines that of the spaces of unordered configurations of \(n\) points on \(E,\) taking care of the mixed Hodge structure and of the action of \(\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}).\) Finally the author also determines the cup product on the cohomology ring.
