On Lusztig-Dupont homology of flag complexes

Abstract: Let

V

be an

n

-dimensional vector space over the finite field of order

q

. The spherical building

X_{V}

associated with

G L (V)

is the order complex of the nontrivial linear subspaces of

V

. Let

m a t h f r a k g

be the local coefficient system on

X_{V}

, whose value on the simplex

s i g m a = [V_{0} s u b s e t c d o t s s u b s e t V_{p}] i n X_{V}

is given by

m a t h f r a k g (s i g m a) = V_{0}

. Following the work of Lusztig and Dupont, we study the homology module

D^{k} (V) = i l d e H_{n - k - 1} (X_{V}; m a t h f r a k g)

. Our results include a construction of an explicit basis of

D^{1} (V)

, and the following twisted analogue of a result of Smith and Yoshiara: For any

1 l e q k l e q n - 1

, the minimal support size of a non-zero

(n - k - 1)

-cycle in the twisted homology

i l d e H_{n - k - 1} (X_{V}; w e d g e^{k} m a t h f r a k g)

is

f r a c (n - k + 2)! 2

.
