COMMENTS

An aerated version of A005700, which is the main entry for this sequence.

If A is a random matrix in the compact group USp(4) (4 X 4 complex matrices which are unitary and symplectic), then a(n)=E[(tr(A))^n] is the n-th moment of the trace of A.

The multiplicity of the trivial representation in the n-th tensor power of the standard representation of USp(4).

Number of returning NESW walks of length n on a 2-d integer lattice remaining in the chamber x>=y>=0, same as A005700(n/2) for n even.

Under a generalized Sato-Tate conjecture, this is the moment sequence of the distribution of scaled Frobenius traces a_p/sqrt(p) (as p varies), for almost all genus 2 curves. - Andrew V. Sutherland (drew(AT)math.mit.edu), Mar 16 2008

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/2)Integral_{x=0..Pi,y=0..Pi}(2cos(x)+2cos(y))^n(2cos(x)-2cos(y))^2(2/Pi*sin^2(x))(2/Pi*sin^2(y))dxdy. a(n)=A126120(n)A126120(n+4)-A126120(n+2)^2. a(2n)=A005700(n)=A000108(n)A000108(n+2)-A000108(n+1)^2, a(2n+1)=0.

EXAMPLE

a(4)=3 because E[(tr(A)^4] = 3 for a random matrix A in USp(4).

a(4)=3 because A126120(4)A126120(8)-A126120(6)^2 = 2*14-5*5 = 3.

a(4)=3 because EEWW, EWEW and ENSW are the returning walks on Z^2 with x>=y>=0.
