COMMENTS
|
A finite non-Abelian group G has an irreducible representation of degree >= 2 and the character of such representation always has a zero; so a(n) = 0 iff every group of order n is Abelian, i.e. n belongs to A051532.

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 1 because the character table of the symmetric group S_3 is / 1, 1, 1 / 1, 1,-1 / 2,-1, 0 /.
