%N Sum over the genera g of the number of immersions of an unoriented circle with n crossing in an oriented surface of genus g.
%C a(n) is the sum over the n-th row of triangle A260848.
%C a(n) is also the number of double cosets of H\G/K where G is the symmetric group S(2n), H is the subgroup generated by the centralizer of the circular permutation β = (1,2,3,...,2n)
%C of G together with the permutation (2, 2n)(3, 2n-1)(4, 2n-2) . . . (n, n+2) that conjugates β and β-1, and K is a subgroup of G isomorphic with S(n) that commutes with
%C (1,2)(3,4)...(2n-3,2n-2)(2n-1,2n), using cycle notation, and permutes odd resp. even integers among themselves.
%C For g > 0 the immersions are understood up to stable geotopy equivalence (the counted curves cannot be immersed in a surface of smaller genus). - _Robert Coquereaux_, Nov 23 2015
