Lifts of continuous and Hölder alpha curves in the configuration space MN/SN$M^N/S_N$

Transactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract In this paper, we study the quotient space X=MN/SN$X = M^N / S_N$ of equivalence classes of N$N$‐tuples in a metric space (M,dM)$(M, d_M)$, equipped with the metric induced by the minimal total pairing distance. Given a continuous path F:(0,1)→X$F: (0,1) \rightarrow X$, we prove that there exist continuous functions f1,⋯,fN:(0,1)→M$f_1, \dots,
