Reiner and Webb (preprint, 2002) compute the Sn-module structure for the complex of injective words. This paper refines their formula by providing a Hodge type decomposition. Along the way, this paper proves that the simplicial boundary map interacts in a nice fashion with the Eulerian idempotents. The Laplacian acting on the top chain group in the complex of injective words is also shown to eq...
