COMMENTS

Let the random variable X be the coefficient of t^3 in the characteristic polynomial det(tI-A) of a random matrix in USp(6) (6x6 complex matrices that are unitary and symplectic). Then a(n) = E[X^n].

Let L_p(T) be the L-polynomial (numerator of the zeta function) of a genus 3 curve C. Under a generalized Sato-Tate conjecture, for almost all C,

a(n) is the n-th moment of the coefficient of t^3 in L_p(t/sqrt(p)), as p varies.

FORMULA

See Prop. 12 of Kedlaya-Sutherland reference below.

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 23 because E[X^4] = 23 for X the t^3 coeff of det(tI-A) in USp(6).
