Abstract: | We construct a homological approximation to the partition complex,and identify it as the Tits building. This gives a homologicalrelationship between the symmetric group and the affine group,leads to a geometric tie between symmetric powers of spheresand the Steinberg idempotent, and allows us to use the self-dualityof the Steinberg module to study layers in the Goodwillie towerof the identity functor. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification:55N25, 55S15, 20B30, 55P25. |
