In this paper we complete the computation of the topological complexity of the configuration space of n distinct points in Euclidean m-space for all m>1$ and n>1; the answer was previously known in the cases m=2 and m odd. We also give several useful general results concerning sharpness of upper bounds for the topological complexity.Algebraic Topology55M99, 55R80, 68T40.Topological complexity of configuration spacestext
