文摘In a recent paper the author constructed a continuous map from the configuration space of n distinct ordered points in 3-space to the flag manifold of the unitary group U(n), which is compatible with the action of the symmetric group. This map is also compatible with appropriate actions of the rotation group SO(3). In this paper the author studies the induced homomorphism in SO(3)-equivariant cohomology and shows that this contains much interesting information involving representations of the symmetric group.
