Abstract

Let k=Fq be a finite field. We enumerate k-rational n-sets of (unordered) points in a projective space PN over k, and we compute the generating function for the numbers of PGLN+1(k)-orbits of these n-sets. For N=1,2 we obtain a formula for these numbers of orbits as a polynomial in q with integer coefficients.
