%N Number of non-intersecting loops starting at (0,0) on the n X n torus consisting of steps up and to the right.

%C On the 2 X 2 torus, the 4 walks are:

%C [(0,0),(1,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(1,0),(1,1),(0,1),(0,0)]

%C On the 3 X 3 torus, the 22 walks are all equivalent to the following eleven walks by switching coordinates:

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2),(0,2),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2),(2,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2),(2,2),(0,2),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2),(2,2),(2,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2),(1,0),(2,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(1,2),(2,2),(2,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(1,2),(1,0),(2,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2),(0,2),(1,2),(1,0),(2,0),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2),(1,0),(2,0),(2,1),(2,2),(0,2),(0,0)]

%C [(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(1,2),(1,0),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2),(2,0),(0,0]]
