We compute the rational Betti numbers of the configuration space C k (M) of k points in an evendimensional orientable closed manifold M and prove that these numbers depend only on the rational cohomology algebra of the manifold. We give also a formula for the Euler-PoincarΓ© characteristic of C k (M)
We show that for all i 0 the i-th mod 2 Betti number of compact nonsingular real algebraic varieties has a unique extension to a virtual Betti number Ξ² i defined for all real algebraic varieties, such that if Y is a closed subvariety of X then Ξ² i (X) = Ξ² i (X \ Y ) + Ξ² i (Y ). We show by example th
