Projection spaces and twisted Lie algebras

A projection space is a collection of spaces interrelated by the combinatorics of projection onto tensor factors in a symmetric monoidal background category. Examples include classical configuration spaces, orbit configuration spaces, the graphical configuration spaces of Eastwood--Huggett, the simplicial configuration spaces of Cooper--de Silva--Sazdanovic, the generalized configuration spaces of Petersen, and Stiefel manifolds. We show that, under natural assumptions on the background category, the homology of a projection space is calculated by the Chevalley--Eilenberg complex of a certain generalized Lie algebra. We identify conditions on this Lie algebra implying representation stability in the classical setting of finite sets and injections.
