[seqfan] Re: Looking for a paper from J London Math Soc 1930

[Neil Sloane]

Sean, Jean-Paul:   Thank you very much for sending the paper!  Even Rutgers
didn't have access to it.

The sequence I was looking for, in Wilton's Table II, turns out to match
A106867 (at least at the start) .

This is a bit of a surprise since the defn. of A106867 is
Primes of the form 2*x^2+x*y+3*y^2.
and there is a comment saying:
Primes p such that the polynomial x^3-x-1 is irreducible over Zp. The
polynomial discriminant is also -23.

On the other hand, Wilton's definition is
Primes p such that Ramanujan tau(p) = A000594(p) == -1 (mod 23).

Is it obvious that these are the same?  Since A106867 has a b-file from Ray
Chandler with 10000 terms,
it would be easy to check if they agree out that far.


Best regards
Neil
