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

Let $M_{d,n}(q)$ denote the number of monic irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_n]$ of degree $d$. We show that for a fixed degree $d$, the sequence $M_{d,n}(q)$ converges
