COMMENTS

This is known to satisfy a linear recurrence relation with polynomial coefficients. The limit of a[n+1]/a[n] is 248.

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..19.

EXAMPLE

The n-th tensor power is the trivial representation for n=0 and is the adjoint representation for n=1. For n=2 every invariant tensor is a scalar multiple of a Killing form.
