COMMENTS

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^2)+1)^n] is the n-th central moment of the trace of A^2, since E[tr(A^2)] = -1 (see A138350).

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/2)Integral_{x=0..Pi,y=0..Pi}(2cos(2x)+2cos(2y)+1)^n(2cos(x)-2cos(y))^2(2/Pi*sin^2(x))(2/Pi*sin^2(y))dxdy. a(n)=Sum_{i=0..n}binomial(n,i)A138350(i)

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 11 because E[((tr(A^2)+1)^4] = 11 for a random matrix A in USp(4).

a(4) = 1*A138350(0)+4*A138350(1)+6*A138350(2)+4*A138350(3)+1*A138350(4)

= 1*1 + 4*(-1) + 6*3 + 4*(-6) + 1*20 = 11.
