Doctor Bombelli, The Math Forum, Exp[ -I * Pi] = Cos[Pi] + i Sin[Pi] = -1.

Formula

a(n) = (-1)^(I Pi) = exp(-Pi)^Pi = (exp( -(1/2)*Pi))^(2*Pi) = sqrt(exp( -Pi)^Pi/(exp(Pi)^Pi)) = exp[(-1/2*Pi)]^(Gamma[1/6]*Gamma[5/6]) = 1/(sqrt[exp[Pi]^(2*Pi)]) = (exp[ -(1/2)*Pi])^(2*Pi) = exp[ -Pi^2].

Example

(-1)^(I*Pi) = exp(-Pi)^(Pi) = 0.000051723186...

Mathematica

N[(-1)^(I Pi), 1000] FullSimplify[(-1)^(I Pi) == Exp[ -Pi]^Pi == (Exp[ -(1/2)*Pi])^(2*Pi) == Sqrt[Exp[ -Pi]^Pi/(Exp[Pi]^Pi)] == Exp[(-1/2*Pi)]^(Gamma[1/6]*Gamma[5/6]) == 1/(Sqrt[Exp[Pi]^(2*Pi)]) == (Exp[ -(1/2)*Pi])^(2*Pi) == Exp[ -Pi^2]]
