A combinatorial interpretation of coefficients is provided. As a main tool we introduce new semigroup of partial permutations. We describe its structure, representations, and characters. We also discuss filtrations on the subalgebra of invariants in the semigroup algebra.AMS-TeX, 19 pages, no figuresCombinatoricsRepresentation Theory05E10 (Primary) 20B30, 20C30, 20C32, 20E45 (Secondary)The Algebra of Conjugacy Classes in Symmetric Groups and Partial Permutationstext
