Cycle-free chessboard complexes and symmetric homology of algebras. (English) Zbl 1207.05228

Summary: Chessboard complexes and their relatives have been an important recurring theme of topological combinatorics. Closely related “cycle-free chessboard complexes” have been recently introduced by Ault and Fiedorowicz in [S. Ault and Z. Fiedorowicz, “Symmetric homology of algebras, ” arXiv:0708.1575v54 [math.AT] 5 Nov 2007; Z. Fiedorowicz, “Question about a simplicial complex,” Algebraic Topology Discussion List (maintained by Don Davis) http://www.lehigh.edu/~dmd1/zf93] as a tool for computing symmetric analogues of the cyclic homology of algebras. We study connectivity properties of these complexes and prove a result that confirms a strengthened conjecture from [S. Ault and {|it Z. Fiedorowicz}, loc. cit.].
