%N Conductors of elliptic curves.

%C 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

%e 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
