In the 40s, Mayer introduced a construction of (simplicial) -complex by using the unsigned boundary map and taking coefficients of chains modulo . We look at such a -complex associated to an -simplex; in which case, this is also a -complex of representations of the symmetric group of rank — specifically, of permutation modules associated to two-row compositions. In this article, we calculate the so-called slash homology — a homology theory introduced by Khovanov and Qi — of such a -complex. We show that every non-trivial slash homology group appears as an irreducible representation associated to two-row partitions, and how this calculation leads to a basis of these irreducible representations given by the so-called -standard tableaux.
