%N Number of inequivalent solutions to toroidal (8n+1)-queen problem under the symmetry operator R45(x,y)=( (x-y)/sqrt(2), (x+y)/sqrt(2) ).

%C The R45 operator is not valid on toroidal N-queen problem if 2 is not a perfect square modulo N. For example, a(3)=0 is because 2 is not a perfect square modulo 25. see A057126. Toroidal N-queen problem has no fixed points under R45 if N is not equal to 8k+1 for some integer k.
