A basis for the non-crossing partition lattice top homology

We find a basis for the top homology of the non-crossing partition lattice T _n . Though T _n is not a geometric lattice, we are able to adapt techniques of Björner (A. Björner, On the homology of geometric lattices. Algebra Universalis 14 (1982), no. 1, 107–128) to find a basis with C _n?1 elements that are in bijection with binary trees. Then we analyze the action of the dihedral group on this basis.
