COMMENTS
This elliptic curve is discussed in the Silverman reference. In the table the p-defects prime(n) - a(n) are shown for primes 2 to 113.
In the Martin and Ono reference, in Theorem 2, this elliptic curve appears in the eighth row, starting with Conductor 36, as a strong Weil curve for the weight 2 newform eta(6*z)^4, with Im(z) > 0, and the Dedekind eta function. See A000727 which gives the q-expansion (q = exp(2*Pi*i*z)) of exp(-Pi*i*z/3)*eta(z)^4. For the q-expansion of eta(6*z)^4 one has 5 interspersed 0's: 0,1,0,0,0,0,0,-4,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,8,...
The discriminant of this elliptic curve is -3^3 = -27.

FORMULA
a(n) gives the number of solutions of the congruence y^2 == x^3 + 1 (mod prime(n)), n >= 1.
EXAMPLE
The first nonnegative complete residue system {0, 1, ..., prime(n)-1} is used. The solutions (x, y) of y^2 == x^3 + 1 (mod prime(n)) begin:
n, prime(n), a(n)\ solutions (x, y)
1, 2, 2: (0, 1), (1, 0)
2, 3, 3: (0, 1), (0, 2), (2, 0)
3, 5, 5: (0, 1), (0, 4), (2, 2),
(2, 3), (4, 0)
4, 7, 11: (0, 1), (0, 6), (1, 3),
(1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4),
(3, 0), (4, 3), (4, 4),
(5, 0), (6, 0)
5, 11, 11: (0, 1), (0, 10), (2, 3),
(2, 8), (5, 4), (5, 7),
(7, 5), (7, 6), (9, 2),
(9, 9), (10, 0)
