The author states that his aim in this paper is to reveal the geometry underlying certain integral representations of the symmetric groups and to show that topological methods give efficient proofs of many of the theorems about these representations. He shows that the poset of nontrivial partitions of \(\{ 1,2,\dots,n\}\) has a fundamental homology class with coefficients in a Lie superalgebra. He then uses homological duality to obtain a number of known results about the integral representations of the symmetric groups \(\Sigma_n\) and \(\Sigma_{n+1}\) on the homology and cohomology of this partially ordered set.
