COMMENTS

If A is a random matrix in the compact group USp(6) (6x6 complex

matrices which are unitary and symplectic), then a(n)=E[(tr(A^2))^n] is the nth

moment of the trace of A^2. See A138542 for central moments.

FORMULA

mgf is A(z) = det[F_{i+j-2}(z)], 1<=i,j<=g, where F_m(z) = Sum_j Binom(m,j)(B_{(2j-m)/2}(z)-B_{(2j-m+2)/2}(z)) and B_v(z)=0 for non-integer k and otherwise B_v(z)=I_v(2z) with I_v(z) is the hyperbolic Bessel function (of the first kind) of order v.

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 24 because E[(tr(A^2))^4] = 24 for a random matrix A in USp(6).
