COMMENTS
C_t(n) is the number of sequences of t top-to-random shuffles that leave a deck of n cards invariant, if each shuffle is permitted to flip the orientation of the card it moves.
C_t(n) = <pi^t, 1_{BSym_n}> where pi is the permutation character of the hyperoctahedral group BSym_n = C_2 wreath Sym_n given by its imprimitive action on a set of size 2n. This gives a combinatorial interpretation of C_t(n) using sequences of box moves on pairs of Young diagrams.
C_t(t) is the number of set partitions of a set of size t with an even number of elements in each part distinguished by marks.
C_t(n) = C_t(t) if n > t.

FORMULA
G.f.: sum(t>=0, n>=0, C_t(n)x^t/t!y^n) = exp(y/2 (exp(2*x)-1))/(1-y).
C_t(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} A075497(t,i).
