Abstract
Let M be a simply connected closed manifold of dimension n. We study the rational homotopy type of the configuration space of two points in M, F(M, 2). When M is even dimensional, we prove that the rational homotopy type of F(M,2) depends only on the rational homotopy type of M. When the dimension ofM is odd, for every x ∈ Hn−2(M,Q), we construct a commutative differential graded algebra C(x). We prove that for some x ∈ Hn−2(M;Q), C(x) encodes completely the rational homotopy type of F(M, 2). For some class of manifolds, we show that we can take x = 0.
