Conjecture on the symmetric homology of polynomial rings

Let k[t1,t2,,tn]k[t_1,t_2,\dots,t_n] be the polynomial ring in nn indeterminates over kk, and let CC_\infty denote the monad associated to an EE_\infty operad. Write SiS^i for the ii-sphere and ΩS(Si1)\Omega^\infty S^\infty(S^{i-1}) for the corresponding infinite loop space. Symmetric homology conjecture. The symmetric homology of the polynomial ring is

HS(k[t1,t2,,tn])=H(i=1nC(S0)×i=2nj=1n!/(i!(ni)!)ΩS(Si1);k).HS_*(k[t_1,t_2,\dots,t_n])=H_*\left(\prod_{i=1}^n C_\infty(S^0)\times\prod_{i=2}^n\prod_{j=1}^{n!/(i!(n-i)!)}\Omega^\infty S^\infty(S^{i-1});k\right).

This conjecture is motivated by the preceding computation for Laurent polynomial rings and the relation between symmetric homology and group completion for commutative monoids; the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
