COMMENTS

All such orders are composite numbers (since there is only one group of any prime order).
Orders which are repeated in A109379.
Except for the first number, these are the orders of symplectic groups C_n(q)=Sp_{2n}(q), where n>2 and q is a power of an odd prime number (q=3,5,7,9,11,...). Also these are the orders of orthogonal groups B_n(q). - Dushan Pagon (dushanpag(AT)gmail.com), Jun 27 2010
a(1) = 20160 = 8!/2 is the order of the alternating simple group A_8 that is isomorphic to the Lie group PSL_4(2), but 20160 is also the order of the Lie group PSL_3(4) that is not isomorphic to A_8 (see A137863). - Bernard Schott, May 18 2020

FORMULA
|
For n>1, a(n) is obtained as (1/2) q^(m^2)Prod(q^(2i)-1, i=1..m) for appropriate m>2 and q equal to a power of some odd prime number. [Dushan Pagon (dushanpag(AT)gmail.com), Jun 27 2010]
