Mod 2 representation of the symmetric group of order 2 over cohomology groups of 2-configuration space of torus

Tomoki Tokuda

Abstract

In this article, we compute the mod 2 representarion of the symmetric group of order 2 over the singular cohomology groups of orderd 2-configuration space $C_{2}(T^{d})$ of the $d$-torus $T^{d}$ for $d\geq 1$. As applications of the computation, we determine the Stiefel-Whitney height of $C_{2}(T^{d})$ for any $d$, and determine $\mathbb{F}_{2}[Σ_{2}]$-module structure of the cohomology groups of the unordered 2-configuration space of the $d$-torus for $d=2,3$ using the Serre spectral sequence.
