Configurations of noncollinear points in the projective plane

Ronno Das and Ben O’Connor

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 21 (2021) 1941–1972
Abstract

We consider the space Fn of configurations of n points in 2 satisfying the condition that no three of the points lie on a line. For n = 4,5,6, we compute H(Fn; ) as an 𝔖n–representation. The cases n = 5,6 are computed via the Grothendieck–Lefschetz trace formula in étale cohomology and certain “twisted” point counts for analogous spaces over 𝔽q.
