Is it true (I just woke up and don't clearly recall my Group Theory)
that A002884 is A061350(2^n)?
A002884 Number of nonsingular n X n matrices over GF(2) (order of
Chevalley group A_n (2)).
(Formerly M4302 N1798)
1, 1, 6, 168, 20160, 9999360, ...
A061350 Maximal size of Aut(G) where G is a finite Abelian group of order n.
If so, a nice comment would be Hall's:
"The sum of the reciprocals of the orders of all the Abelian groups of
order a power of p is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the
orders of their groups of automorphisms."

This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics (Week 300)

This is the last of the old series of This Week’s Finds. Soon the new
series will start, focused on technology and environmental issues —
but still with a hefty helping of math, physics, and other science....
But now… the grand finale of This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics!
I’d like to take everything I’ve been discussing so far and wrap it up
in a nice neat package. Unfortunately that’s impossible – there are
too many loose ends. But I’ll do my best: I’ll tell you how to
categorify the Riemann zeta function. This will give us a chance to
visit lots of our old friends one last time: the number 24, string
theory, zeta functions, torsors, Joyal’s theory of species,
groupoidification, and more.
