a(1) = 0 by convention.
The Heinz number of an integer partition (y_1, ..., y_k) is prime(y_1) * ... * prime(y_k).

FORMULA
a(n) = (-1)^(A056239(n) - A061395(n)) if n belongs to A093641 (Heinz numbers of hooks), 0 otherwise.
EXAMPLE
Sum_{n > 0} p(n) = s(1) + s(2) - s(11) + s(3) - s(21) + s(4) + s(111) - s(31) + s(5) + s(211) + s(6) - s(41) - s(1111) + s(7) + s(8) + s(311) + ...
