Abstract
Let T n be the space of fully-grown n-trees and let V n and V n \mathbb Z S n + 1 \mathbb{Z}Σ_{n + 1} -modules, giving a description of V n in terms of V n and V n+1. This short exact sequence may also be deduced from work of Sundaram.
Modulo a twist by the sign representation, V n is shown to be dual to the Lie representation of n , Lie n . Therefore we have an explicit combinatorial description of the integral representation of n+1 on Lie n and this representation fits into a short exact sequence involving Lie n and Lie n+1.
