COMMENTS

This is to cubes A000578 as A132213 is to squares A000290.

It seems that the size of a(n) as compared to its surrounding elements is dependent on whether or not n is in A088232. If n is in A088232 the sequence assumes "big" values, otherwise the values will be "small". - Stefan Steinerberger (stefan.steinerberger(AT)gmail.com), Nov 24 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = Card{p = k^3 mod n, for primes p and for all integers k}.

EXAMPLE

a(10) = 4 because the cubes mod 10 repeat 0, 1, 8, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 2, 9, 0, 1, 8, 7, 4, 5, ... of which the 4 distinct primes are {2, 3, 5, 7}.

MATHEMATICA

Table[Length[Select[Union[Table[Mod[i^3, n], {i, 0, n}], Table[Mod[i^3, n], {i, 0, n}]], PrimeQ[ # ] &]], {n, 1, 70}] - Stefan Steinerberger (stefan.steinerberger(AT)gmail.com), Nov 12 2007
