We consider the moduli spaces [Formula: see text] of a closed linkage with [Formula: see text] links and prescribed lengths [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]-dimensional Euclidean space. For [Formula: see text] these spaces are no longer manifolds generically, but they have the structure of a pseudomanifold. We use intersection homology to assign a ring to these spaces that can be used to distinguish the homeomorphism types of [Formula: see text] for a large class of length vectors in the case of [Formula: see text] even. This result is a high-dimensional analogue of the Walker conjecture which was proven by Farber, Hausmann and the author.

In this paper, we introduce reflection-like maps in n-dimensional Euclidean spaces, which are affinely conjugated to θ : ( x 1 , x 2 , … , x n ) → 1 x 1 , x 2 x 1 , … , x n x 1 . We shall prove that reflection-like maps are line-to-line, cross ratios preserving on lines and quadrics preserving. The goal of this article was to consider the rigidity of line-to-line maps on the local domain of R n by using reflection-like maps. We mainly prove that a line-to-line map η on any convex domain satisfying η ∘ 2 = i d and fixing any points in a super-plane is a reflection or a reflection-like map. By considering the hyperbolic isometry in the Klein Model, we also prove that any line-to-line bijection f : D n ↦ D n is either an orthogonal transformation, or a composition of an orthogonal transformation and a reflection-like map, from which we can find that reflection-like maps are important elements and instruments to consider the rigidity of line-to-line maps.
