Factorization statistics and the twisted Grothendieck-Lefschetz formula

Number Theory 2018-04-02 v2

Abstract

We announce recent results on a connection between factorization statistics of polynomials over a finite field and the structure of the cohomology of configurations in R3\mathbb{R}^3 as a representation of the symmetric group. This connection parallels a result of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb relating factorization statistics of squarefree polynomials and the cohomology of configurations in R2\mathbb{R}^2.
