Comments

a(n) is the entry (2,2) of a family of unimodular matrices none of whose entries is 1 or -1, such that when each entry of the matrix is replaced by its cube, the resulting matrix is also unimodular.

In these matrices, the entries (1,3) and (3,1) = 2; the entries (2,3) and (3,2) = 3; the entry (3,3) = 0.
