On a curious variant of the S_n-module Lie_n

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2200867




Abstract: We introduce a variant of the much-studied Lie representation of the symmetric group Sn, which we denote by Lien(2). Our variant gives rise to a decomposition of the regular representation as a sum of {exterior} powers of modules Lien(2). This is in contrast to the theorems of Poincar'e-Birkhoff-Witt and Thrall which decompose the regular representation into a sum of symmetrised Lie modules. We show that nearly every known property of Lien has a counterpart for the module Lien(2), suggesting connections to the cohomology of configuration spaces via the character formulas of Sundaram and Welker, to the Eulerian idempotents of Gerstenhaber and Schack, and to the Hodge decomposition of the complex of injective words arising from Hochschild homology, due to Hanlon and Hersh.
