%N A086569 Product of the nonzero eigenvalues of the circulant matrix whose rows are formed by successively rotating a vector of binomial coefficients right. Generalization of A048954.
%C A086569 In sequence A048954, a determinant of a circulant matrix, a(n) = 0 when 6 divides n. The determinant of a matrix can be interpreted as the signed volume of a simplex whose vertices are given by the rows of the matrix. For n a multiple of 6, the points form a lower dimensional simplex that has zero volume in n-space. However, the volume in n-2 space is positive and is given by the product of the nonzero eigenvalues.
