We compute the rational Betti numbers of the configuration space C-k(M) of k points in an even-dimensional orientable closed manifold M and prove that these numbers depend only on the rational cohomology algebra of the manifold. We give also a formula for the Euler-Poincare characteristic of C-k(M) in terms only of k, and of the Euler-Poincare characteristic of M. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
