Let f(x) be any monic integral cubic polynomial with discriminant -n and irreducible over Z. Consider the set S of primes p such that f(x) has no zeros in Zp, i.e., f(x) is irreducible in Zp. For the discriminants -n in this sequence, set S coincides with the primes represented by one binary quadratic form ax^2+bxy+cy^2 with -n=b^2-4ac. For examples, see A106867, A106872, A106282, A106919, A106954, A106967, A040034 and A040038. This sequence consists of (1) terms 4d in A106312 such that the class number of d is 1, (2) terms d in A106312 such that the class number of d is 3 and (3) 108 and 243.

EXAMPLE
For each -n, we give (-n,a,b,c) for the quadratic form ax^2+bxy+cy^2: (23,2,1,3), (31,2,1,4), (44,3,2,4), (59,3,1,5), (76,4,2,5), (83,3,1,7), (107,3,1,9), (108,4,2,7), (139,5,1,7), (172,4,2,11), (211,5,3,11), (243,7,3,9), (268,4,2,17), (283,7,5,11), (307,7,1,11), (331,5,3,17), (379,5,1,19), (499,5,1,25), (547,11,5,13), (643,7,1,23), (652,4,2,41), (883,13,1,17) and (907,13,9,19).
