FORMULA

If n = sum 2^e[i] in binary, then the number of odd degree irreducible complex representations of S_n is 2^sum e[i]. In words: write n in binary and take the product of the powers of 2 that appear.

G.f.: prod(k>=0, 1 + 2^k * x^2^k). a(n) = 2^A073642(n). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 02 2003

a(1)=1, a(2n) = 2^e1(n)*a(n), a(2n+1) = a(2n), where e1(n) = A000120(n). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 19 2003

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 2 because S_3 the degrees of the irreducible representations of S_3 are 1,1,2.
