%N Symmetric square array read by antidiagonals: A(n,k) is the product of all factors that occur in one, but not both, of the Fermi-Dirac factorizations of n and k.

%C Old name: Square array read by antidiagonals: T(i,j) = product prime(k)^(Ei(k) XOR Ej(k)) where Ei and Ej are the vectors of exponents in the prime factorizations of i and j; XOR is the bitwise operation on binary representation of the exponents.

%C Analogous to multiplication, with XOR replacing +.

%C From _Peter Munn_, Apr 01 2019: (Start)

%C (1) Defines an abelian group whose underlying set is the positive integers. (2) Every element is self-inverse. (3) For all n and k, A(n,k) is a divisor of n*k. (4) The terms of A050376, sometimes called Fermi-Dirac primes, form a minimal set of generators. In ordered form, it is the lexicographically earliest such set.

%C The unique factorization of positive integers into products of distinct terms of the group's lexicographically earliest minimal set of generators seems to follow from (1) (2) and (3).

%C From (1) and (2), every row and every column of the table is a self-inverse permutation of the positive integers. Rows/columns numbered by nonmembers of A050376 are compositions of earlier rows/columns.

%C It is a subgroup of the equivalent group over the nonzero integers, which has -1 as an additional generator.

%C As generated by A050376, the subgroup of even length words is A000379. The complementary set of odd length words is A000028.

%C The subgroup generated by A000040 (the primes) is A005117 (the squarefree numbers).

%C (End)

%C Considered as a binary operation, the result is (the squarefree part of the product of its operands) times the square of (the operation's result when applied to the square roots of the square parts of its operands). - _Peter Munn_, Mar 21 2022
