   Format: MarkdownItexI realized that we had a stub entry "configuration space" with the physics concept, and a stub entry "Fadell's configuration space" with the maths concept, and no interrelation between them, also without any examples. So I created a disambiguation page * _[[configuration spaces]]_ and then * _[[configuration space (mathematics)]]_ * _[[configuration space (physics)]]_ but I also left * _[[Fadell's configuration space]]_ separate for the moment, thinking that in principle the term in matematics may be understood more generally, too. But maybe something should be merged here. I added the example of the unordered configuration space of $\mathbb{R}^\infty$ as a model for the classifying space for the symmetric group to the relevant entries. But otherwise they do remain stubby, alas.

   You mean configuration space (physics).
