COMMENTS

a(n) is also the number of rooted two-vertex (or, dually, two-face) regular planar maps of valency n+1. - Valery A. Liskovets (liskov(AT)im.bas-net.by), Oct 19 2005

If A is a random matrix in USp(4) (4 X 4 complex matrices that are unitary and symplectic), then a(n)=(-1)^n*E[(tr(A^4))^n]. - Andrew V. Sutherland (drew(AT)math.mit.edu), Apr 01 2008
