Homology groups of a certain simplicial complex
I've run across a simplicial complex which, according to Sage, seems to have a very easily-described homology. However, proving this fact has been rather difficult. … Then we need to prove that the other reduced homology groups are zero, which shouldn't be as difficult. …

Amending flawed "proof" that homology groups are zero
. ▮
We'll also use the Mayer--Vietoris sequence, which for reduced homology states that
$$\eqalign{
\cdots \to H_s(A)\oplus H_s(B) \to H_s(X)\to H_{s-1}(A\cap B) \to
H_{s-1}(A)\oplus H_{s-1}(B)\to\cr …

Amending flawed "proof" that homology groups are zero
In the following, when we speak of homology of $\Delta_n$ and write $H_k(\Delta_n)$, we mean homology over ${\bf Z}$.
Proposition. For all $k\ge 1$, $H_k(\Delta_n)=0$.
"Proof". … The $k$th homology of this simplicial subcomplex is zero, so the $(k+2)$-tuple $(x_1,\ldots,x_{k+2})$ contributes nothing to the $k$th
homology of $\Delta_n$. …
