COMMENT

If A is a random matrix in the compact group USp(4) (4 X 4 complex matrices which are unitary and symplectic), then a(n)=E[(tr(A^2)^n] is the n-th moment of the trace of A^2. See A138351 for central moments.

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/2)Integral_{x=0..Pi,y=0..Pi}(2cos(2x)+2cos(2y))^n(2cos(x)-2cos(y))^2(2/Pi*sin^2(x))(2/Pi*sin^2(y))dxdy. a(n)=A126120(n)A138364(n+1)-A138364(n)A126120(n+1)

EXAMPLE

a(5) = -50 because E[(tr(A^2))^5] = -50 for a random matrix A in USp(4).

a(5) = A126120(5)A138364(6)-A138364(5)A126120(6) = 0*0-10*5 = -50
