Feb 8, 2013 at 21:29 comment added Andy Putman @Vladimir Dotsenko : Thanks for letting me know about that paper; I had not seen it before! It shows that the "large $n$" condition I included is not necessary.
Feb 7, 2013 at 16:23 comment added Vladimir Dotsenko That's very nice. A quick remark on what you say ("it's quite hard to decompose $H^k(PB_n;\mathbb{Q})$ into irreducibles"): a description of $H^*(PB_n;\mathbb{Q})$ as a representation is done by Felder and Veselov (e.g. arxiv.org/abs/math/0311190), they prove that it is isomorphic to $2 Ind^{S_n}_{\langle (12)\rangle}(1)$. This clearly shows that the alternating representation does not occur at all (Frobenius reciprocity).
