Paolo Salvatore (University of Rome Tor Vergata) — Formality of configuration spaces and Kontsevich graphs

We discuss a method to assess the formality of euclidean configuration spaces using Kontsevich graphs. This approach goes beyond the well known case of characteristic 0, and uses geometric cochains instead of differential forms. This is partly joint work with my student Andrea Pizzi.
