COMMENTS

For any finite group G with order n we have that if A is the character table then |det(A)|^2 = product i (n/c(i)) where the product is over the conjugacy classes of G: c(i), so by this formula the square of the determinant is an integer (in the case of dihedral groups the characters are real).

FORMULA

a(n) = 4 * n^((n+1)/2) if n odd, a(n)= 64 * n^((n+2)/2) if n even. - Paul Boddington (psb(AT)maths.warwick.ac.uk), Oct 22 2003

PROG

(PARI) { for (n=1, 200, if (n%2, a=4 * n^((n+1)/2), a=64 * n^((n+2)/2)); write("b063073.txt", n, " ", a) ) } [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Aug 16 2009]
