We present a compact formulation of the orthogonal Weingarten formula, with the traditional quantity I(i1, . . . , i2k : j1, . . . , j2k) = ∫ On ui1j1 . . . ui2kj2k du replaced by the more advanced quantity I(a) = ∫ On Πu aij ij du, depending on a matrix of exponents a ∈ Mn(N). Among consequences, we establish a number of basic facts regarding the integrals I(a): vanishing condition, sign, poss...
