Abstract: We determine the cohomology groups of the space of seven points in general linear position as representations of the symmetric group on seven elements by making equivariant point counts over finite fields. We also comment on the case of eight points.

Review text

Let \(\mathcal C_{n,m}^{\mathrm{glp}}\) be the configuration space of \(m\) points in general linear position in \(\mathbb P^n\) up to projective equivalence. In this paper the author determines the cohomology groups of \(\mathcal C_{2,7}^{\mathrm{glp}}\) for seven points in general linear position in the projective plane as representations of the symmetric group on seven elements. To prove the result, the author relates the space \(\mathcal C_{2,7}^{\mathrm{glp}}\) to the complement of a certain toric arrangement, counts points of \(\mathcal C_{2,7}^{\mathrm{glp}}\) over finite fields, and applies Lefschetz's trace formula. The author also explains what can (or cannot) be done for the case of eight points via the same method.
