CONFIGURATION SPACE INTEGRALS AND THE COHOMOLOGY OF THE SPACE OF HOMOTOPY STRING LINKS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Configuration space integrals have been used in recent years for studying the cohomology of spaces of (string) knots and links in ℝ n for n > 3 since they provide a map from a certain differential graded algebra of diagrams to the deRham complex of differential forms on the spaces of knots and links. We refine this construction so that it now applies to the space of homotopy string links — the space of smooth maps of some number of copies of ℝ in ℝ n with fixed behavior outside a compact set and such that the images of the copies of ℝ are disjoint — even for n = 3. We further study the case n = 3 in degree zero and show that our integrals represent a universal finite type invariant of the space of classical homotopy string links. As a consequence, we deduce that Milnor invariants of string links can be written in terms of configuration space integrals.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
