Abstract

We use generating functions to relate the expected values of polynomial factorization statistics over Fq\mathbb{F}_q to the cohomology of ordered configurations in R3\mathbb{R}^3 as a representation of the symmetric group. Our methods lead to a new proof of the twisted Grothendieck-Lefschetz formula for squarefree polynomial factorization statistics of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb.
