Van Kampen's embedding obstruction for discrete groups
Mladen Bestvina, Michael Kapovich, Bruce Kleiner
We give a lower bound to the dimension of a contractible manifold on which a given group can act properly discontinuously. In particular, we show that the -fold product of nonab…

Quantization of bending deformations of polygons in Euclidean space, hypergeometric integrals and the Gassner representation
Michael Kapovich, John J. Millson
We quantize the bending deformations of n-gon linkages by linearizing the bending fields at a degenerate n-gon to get a representation of the Malcev Lie algebra of the pure braid g…
