Abstract
For a path-connected space , a well-known theorem of Segal, May and Milgram asserts that the configuration space of finite points in with labels in is weakly homotopy equivalent to . In this paper, we introduce a space of intervals suitably topologized in with labels in a space and show that it is weakly homotopy equivalent to without the assumption on path-connectivity.
