This extends and explains the splitting basis for the homology of the partition lattice given in 20 thus answering a question asked by R. Stanley. More explicitly the following general technique is presented and utilized. Let A be a central and essential hyperplane arrangement in Rd. Let R1 . Rk be the bounded regions of a generic hyperplane section of A. We show that there are induced polytopal cycles pRi in the homology of the proper part La of the intersection lattice such that pRi i . k is a basis for Hd-2 LA . This geometric method for constructing combinatorial homology bases is applied to the Coxeter arrangements of types A B and D and to some interpolating arrangements. 1 Introduction In 20 Wachs constructs a basis for the homology of the partition lattice nra via a certain natural splitting procedure for permutations. This basis has very favorable properties Supported in part by Goran Gustafsson Foundation for Research in Natural Sciences and Medicine.
