Abstract: In this paper we explore a relationship between the topology of the complex hyperplane complements $mathcal{M}_{B{C}_n}(mathbbC)$ in type B/C and the combinatorics of certain spaces of degree-$n$ polynomials over a finite field $mathbb{F}_q$. This relationship is a consequence of the Grothendieck trace formula and work of Lehrer and Kim. We use it to prove a correspondence between a representation-theoretic convergence result on the cohomology algebras $H^{\ast }(mathcal{M}_{B{C}_n}(mathbbC);mathbbC)$, and an asymptotic stability result for certain polynomial statistics on monic squarefree polynomials over $mathbb{F}_q$ with nonzero constant term. This result is the type B/C analogue of a theorem due to Church, Ellenberg, and Farb in type A, and we include a new proof of their theorem. To establish these convergence results, we realize the sequences of cohomology algebras of the hyperplane complements as FI${}_{m}athcalW$-algebras finitely generated in FI${}_{m}athcalW$- degree $2$, and we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of general families of algebras with this structure. We prove a negative result implying that this structure alone is not sufficient to prove the necessary convergence conditions. Our proof of convergence for the cohomology algebras involves the combinatorics of their relators.
