Inert rational primes in the field Q(sqrt(-3)). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 25 2017
Primes p such that 1+x+x^2 is irreducible over GF(p). - Joerg Arndt, Aug 10 2011
Primes p dividing sum(k=0,p,C(2k,k)) -1 = A006134(p)-1. - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 08 2003
The set of primes of the form 3n - 1 is a superset of the set of lesser of twin primes larger than three (A001359). - Paul Muljadi, Jun 05 2008
Primes of this form do not occur in or as divisors of {n^2+n+1}. See A002383 (n^2+n+1 = prime), A162471 (prime divisors of n^2+n+1 not in A002383), and A002061 (numbers of the form n^2-n+1). - Daniel Tisdale, Jul 04 2009
Or, primes not in A007645. A003627 UNION A007645 = A000040. Also, primes of the form 6*k-5/2-+3/2. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Jan 28 2010
Except for first term "2", all these prime numbers are of the form: 6*n-1. - Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Jul 13 2011
A088534(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 30 2011
For n>1: Numbers k such that (k-4)! mod k =(-1)^(floor(k/3)+1)*floor((k+1)/6), k>4. - Gary Detlefs, Jan 02 2012
For every prime p in this sequence, 3 is a 9th power mod p. See Williams link. - Michel Marcus, Nov 12 2017
2 adjoined to A007528. - David A. Corneth, Nov 12 2017
For n >= 2 there exists a polygonal number P_s(3) = 3s - 3 = a(n) + 1. These are the only primes p with P_s(k) = p + 1, s >= 3, k >= 3, since P_s(k) - 1 is composite for k > 3. - Ralf Steiner, May 17 2018
