Using factorization homology, we realize the rational homology
of the unordered configuration spaces of an arbitrary manifold
, possibly
with boundary, as the homology of a Lie algebra constructed from the compactly supported
cohomology of
.
By locating the homology of each configuration space within the Chevalley–Eilenberg
complex of this Lie algebra, we extend theorems of Bödigheimer, Cohen and Taylor
and of Félix and Thomas, and give a new, combinatorial proof of the homological
stability results of Church and Randal-Williams. Our method lends itself to explicit
calculations, examples of which we include.
