Abstract

Given a pair of a partial abelian monoid M and a pointed space X, let CM(ℝ, X) denote the configuration space of finite distinct points in ℝ parametrized by the partial monoid XM. In this note we will show that if M is embedded in a topological abelian group and if we put ±M = {ab | a, bM} then the natural map CM(ℝ, X) → C±M(ℝ, X) induced by the inclusion M ⊂ ±M is a group completion. This result can be applied to show that for any finite set M such that {0} ⊊ M ⊂ ℤ, CM(ℝ, X) is weakly equivalent to the infinite loop space ΩΣX if X is connected.
