Primes p such that (1-x^5)/(1-x) is irreducible over GF(p). [Joerg Arndt, Aug 10 2011]

For n>1, sequence gives primes ending in 3 or 7. - Lekraj Beedassy, Oct 27 2003

Inert rational primes in Q(sqrt 5), or, 5 is not a square mod p.

Primes for which the period of the Fibonacci sequence mod p divides 2p+2.

Let F(n) be the n-th Fibonacci number for n=1,2,3... (A000045). F(n) mod p (a prime) generates a periodic sequence. This sequence may be generated as follows: F(p-1)* F(p) mod p = p-1. E.g. p=7: F(6)=8 * F(7)=13) then 8 * 13 mod 7 = 6 (p-1=6). - Louis Mello (Mellols(AT)aol.com), Feb 09 2001

These are also the primes p that divide Fibonacci(p+1) - Jud McCranie.

Also primes p such that p divides F(2p+1)-1; such that p divides F(2p+3)-1; such that p divides F(3p+1)-1 - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 05 2003

Primes p such that the polynomial x^2-x-1 mod p has no zeros; i.e. x^2-x-1 is irreducible over the integers mod p. - T. D. Noe, May 02 2005
