Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A319920
Let f(1) = 1 + i (where i denotes the imaginary unit) and for n > 0, f(n+1) is the Gaussian prime in the first quadrant (with positive real part and nonnegative imaginary part) with least modulus that divides 1 + Product_{k=1..n} f(k) (in case of a tie minimize the imaginary part); a(n) is the square of the modulus of f(n).
