%N Number of n X n checkered tori.

%C Consider an n X n checkerboard whose tiles are assigned colors 0 and 1, at random. There are 2^(n^2) such checkerboards. We identify the opposite edges of each checkerboard, thus making it into a (topological) torus. There are a(n) such (distinct) tori. It is possible to show that a(n) >= 2^(n^2)/n^2 for all n.

%C Main diagonal of A184271.

%C Main diagonal of Table 3: The number a(m, n) of toroidal m X n binary arrays, allowing rotation of the rows and/or the columns but not reflection, for m, n = 1, 2, ..., 8, at page 5 of Ethier. - _Jonathan Vos Post_, Jan 14 2013

%C This is a 2-dimensional generalization of binary necklaces (A000031). - _Gus Wiseman_, Feb 04 2019
