Feb 11, 2013 at 18:28 comment added user30830 So did you find the density of $Tr(g)=z$??? What is the formula?
Sep 1, 2012 at 21:40 comment added Marty It's just Haar measure on U(3).
Sep 1, 2012 at 18:05 comment added 7-adic Did you know who firstly introduced this measure? Was that Katz-Sarnak?
Jun 2, 2010 at 18:14 comment added Marty Just an update -- computations are done and agree with predicted moments! The Rains paper, as well as earlier work of Diaconis-Shashahani was extremely helpful.
May 27, 2010 at 23:43 comment added Marty Correct, generically. But I'm having the undergraduate work with "Picard curves" -- certain genus three curves whose Jacobian has extra endomorphisms (by the ring of integers in $Q(\sqrt{-3})$). These extra endomorphisms cut down the image of the Galois representation from $USp(6)$ to $U(3)$ (at primes congruent to $1$ mod $3$), and make it an interesting case to study. It's a natural first choice to study, if one wants to go beyond the $SU(2)$ regime.
May 27, 2010 at 20:03 comment added David Hansen I thought that the roots of local L-functions of curves seemed to be drawn from USp(2g), not just a unitary group...?
May 26, 2010 at 14:15 comment added Marty Thanks for the references! I hadn't found the Rains paper before, which sounds very promising. I'll take a look later today, but it sounds like exactly what I want.
May 26, 2010 at 11:52 comment added Junkie I should have said all positive integers of course. The moments are given in Sloane as A005802. research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A005802

May 26, 2010 at 7:39 comment added Junkie I think that Rains (after Diaconis-Shashahani) found the expected value of $|Tr(U)|^{2k}$ for all integers k (not just those up to the dimension $N$), from which you can apply inversion, I guess? See: combinatorics.org/Volume_5/PDF/v5i1r12.pdf I got this from a paper of Tracy (see page 2), who notes work of Gessel. Tracy: arxiv.org/pdf/math.CO/9811154 Gessel: people.brandeis.edu/~gessel/homepage/papers/dfin.pdf Sorry, that's the best I can do for now.

another dumb mistake.
