%N Number of solutions of the congruence y^2 == x^3 - 1 (mod p) as p runs through the primes.

%C In the Martin and Ono reference, in Theorem 2, this elliptic curve appears in the last column, starting with Conductor 144, as a strong Weil curve for the weight 2 newform eta^{12}(12*z) / (eta^4(6*z) * eta^4(24*z)), symbolically 12^{12} 6^{-4} 24^{-4}, with Im(z) > 0, and the Dedekind eta function. See A187076 which gives the q-expansion (q = exp(2*Pi*i*z)) of exp(-Pi*i*z/3)* eta(2*z)^{12} / (eta^4(z)*eta^4(4*z)). For the q-expansion of 12^{12} 6^{-4} 24^{-4} one has a leading zero and 5 interspersed 0's: 0,1,0,0,0,0,0,4,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,-8,...

%C The discriminant of this elliptic curve is -3^3 = -27.

%C For the elliptic curve y^2 == x^3 + 1 (mod prime(n)) see A000727, A272197, A272198, A272200 and A272201.

%F a(n) gives the number of solutions of the congruence y^2 == x^3 - 1 (mod prime(n)), n >= 1.

%e 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:

%e n, prime(n), a(n)\ solutions (x, y)

%e 1, 2, 2: (0, 1), (1, 0)

%e 2, 3, 3: (1, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)

%e 3, 5, 5: (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 0),

%e (3, 1), (3, 4)

%e 4, 7, 3: (1, 0), (2, 0), (4, 0)

%e 5, 11, 11: (1, 0), (3, 2), (3, 9),

%e (5, 5), (5, 6), (7, 1),

%e (7, 10), (8, 4), (8, 7),
