For each composition
we show that the order complex of the poset of pointed set partitions
is a wedge of spheres of the same dimension with the multiplicity given by the number of permutations with descent composition
. Furthermore, the action of the symmetric group on the top homology is isomorphic to the Specht module
where
is a border strip associated to the composition. We also study the filter of pointed set partitions generated by a knapsack integer partition and show the analogous results on homotopy type and action on the top homology.
