In this paper foundations are presented to a new systematic approach to analysis and geometry for an important class of infinite dimensional manifolds, namely, configuration spaces. More precisely, a differential geometry is introduced on the configuration space 1 X over a Riemannian manifold X. Thi
## Abstract We study some topological and metrical properties of configuration spaces. In particular, we introduce a family of metrics on the configuration space Γ, which makes it a Polish space. Compact functions on Γ are also considered. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Let F be a pentagonal framework in the plane. When we deform F continuously in the plane, the shape of F changes. The configuration space of F is the space of its all possible 'shapes'. We characterize and classify the configuration spaces for those pentagonal frameworks that cannot be folded into a
