COMMENTS

This is the multiplicity of the trivial module in a sequence of modules of dimension (n-1)^(n-3) over the symmetric groups S_n. The restriction of these modules to S_(n-1) is given by the action on trees.

FORMULA

no simple formula known, only a complicated sum over partitions

EXAMPLE

M[6]=s[2, 1, 1, 1, 1] + 3 s[2, 2, 2] + 2 s[3, 1, 1, 1] + 2 s[3, 2, 1] + s[4, 1, 1] + 4 s[4, 2] + s[5, 1] + 2 s[6] as a sum of Schur functions hence a[6]=2.

CROSSREFS
