Problem statement

29.[Stan1999a]*Ch. 7 Exer. 71(e) Given a finite group GG, define ψG\psi_{G} as the character of the action of GG on itself by conjugation. That is, the character of permutation representation ρ:G→SG\rho:G\rightarrow\mathfrak{S}_{G} defined by ρ(x)(y)=xyx−1\rho(x)(y)=xyx^{-1}, where SG\mathfrak{S}_{G} is the group of permutations of GG. Define κnλ=<ψSn,χλ>\kappa_{n\lambda}=\left<\psi_{\mathfrak{S}_{n}},\chi^{\lambda}\right>, where χλ\chi^{\lambda} is the irreducible representation of Sn\mathfrak{S}_{n} indexed by the partition λ\lambda. κnλ>0\kappa_{n\lambda}>0 with the sole exception of n=2,λ=(1,1)n=2,\lambda=(1,1). Is there a “nice” combinatorial interpretation of the numbers κnλ\kappa_{n\lambda}?
