Dec 25, 2021 at 22:56 comment added Machinato @Gil Kalai which Turan's paper does contain the formula for E[(detA)^4]?

Mar 3, 2018 at 3:32 comment added Gerry Myerson There's a sum over $u$ in $S_n$, and the summand involves the number of fixed points of $i$.
Feb 19, 2018 at 2:59 comment added David E Speyer I don't see an $i$ in the sum on $u$.
Feb 19, 2018 at 2:58 comment added David E Speyer $\ell(v)$ is the length of the permutation $v$. In this case, it only appears in exponents: $(-1)^{\ell(v)}$ is the sign of $v$.
Feb 19, 2018 at 1:41 comment added Gerry Myerson I don't know what $\ell(v)$ stands for. I don't know what $i$ stands for in the sum over $u$.

Jan 26, 2010 at 16:15 comment added Gil Kalai There is another simple proof based on Cauchy Binet theorem. Turan published (in Chinese) a formula for the sum of the 4th power. (I think there are simpler proof but I dont know a reference). I am not aware of a formula for higher powers.
