COMMENTS

Supercharacter theory of unipotent upper triangular matrices over a finite field F(2) is indexed by set partitions S(n) of {1,2,..., n} where a set partition P of {1,2,..., n} is a subset { (i,j) : 1 <= i < j <= n}

  such that (i,j) in P implies (i,k),(k,j) are not in P for all i<l<j.

The dimension of the representation associated to the supercharacter indexed by P is given by 2^Dim(P) where Dim(P) = sum [ j-i , (i,j) in P ].

The sequence we have is a(n) = sum [ Dim(P) , P in S(n) ].
