Free cumulants are nice and useful functionals of the shape of a Young diagram, in particular they give the asymptotics of normalized characters of symmetric groups $\mathfrak{S}(n)$ in the limit $n \to \infty$. We give an explicit combinatorial formula for normalized characters of the symmetric groups in terms of free cumulants. We also express characters in terms of Frobenius coordinates. Our formulas involve counting certain factorizations of a given permutation. The main tool are Stanley polynomials which give values of characters on multirectangular Young diagrams.

Les cumulants libres sont des fonctions agréables et utiles sur l'ensemble des diagrammes de Young, en particulier, ils donnent le comportement asymptotiques des caractères normalisés du groupe symétrique $\mathfrak{S}(n)$ dans la limite $n \to \infty$. Nous donnons une formule combinatoire explicite pour les caractères normalisés du groupe symétrique en fonction des cumulants libres. Nous exprimons également les caractères en fonction des coordonnées de Frobenius. Nos formules font intervenir le nombre de certaines factorisations d'une permutation donnée. L'outil principal est la famille de polynômes de Stanley donnant les valeurs des caractères sur les diagrammes de Young multirectangulaires.
