COMMENTS
By the modularity of elliptic curves over Q (proved by Breuil-Conrad-Diamond-Taylor), these are equivalently the positive integers k such that there exists a rational weight 2 newform for Gamma_0(k). - Robin Visser, Nov 04 2024

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 11, as there are no elliptic curves over Q of conductor less than 11, but there are exactly three elliptic curves over Q of conductor equal to 11, for example E : y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2. - Robin Visser, Nov 04 2024
