Conjecture: (i) a(n) is a positive integer for each n > 0. Moreover, we have Sum_{k>=0} ((840*k+197)/(-2430)^k)*T_k(8,1)*T_k(5,-5)^2 = 189*sqrt(15)/(2*Pi).

(ii) If p > 3 is a prime, then Sum_{k=0..p-1}((840*k+197)/(-2430)^k)*T_k(8,1)*T_k(5,-5)^2 == p*(52 + 5*Leg(15/p) + 140*(-15/p)) (mod p^2), where Leg(a/p) denotes the Legendre symbol.

(iii) Let p > 7 be a prime and set S(p) = Sum_{k=0..p-1}T_k(8,1)*T_k(5,-5)^2/(-2430)^k. If Leg(-105,p) = -1, then S(p) == 0 (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/3) = Leg(p/5) = Leg(p/7) = 1 and p = x^2 + 105*y^2 (with x and y integers), then S(p) == 4*x^2-2p (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/7) = 1, Leg(p/3) = Leg(p/5) = -1 and 2p = x^2 + 105*y^2, then S(p) == 2*x^2-2p (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/3) = Leg(p/5) = Leg(p/7) = -1 and p = 3*x^2 + 35*y^2, then S(p) == 12*x^2-2p (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/7) = -1, Leg(p/3) = Leg(p/5) = 1, and 2p = 3*x^2 + 35*y^2, then S(p) == 6*x^2-2p (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/5) = 1, Leg(p/3) = Leg(p/7) = -1, and p = 5*x^2 + 21*y^2, then S(p) == 2p-20*x^2 (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/3) = 1, Leg(p/5) = Leg(p/7) = -1, and 2p = 5*x^2 + 21*y^2, then S(p) == 2p-10*x^2 (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/5) = -1, Leg(p/3) = Leg(p/7) = 1, and p = 7*x^2 + 15*y^2, then S(p) == 28*x^2-2p (mod p^2). If Leg(-1/p) = Leg(p/3) = -1, Leg(p/5) = Leg(p/7) = 1, and 2p = 7*x^2 + 15*y^2, then S(p) == 14*x^2-2p (mod p^2).

One can easily check the identity in part (i) as the series converges very fast. Note also that the imaginary quadratic field Q(sqrt(-105)) has class number 8.

Example

a(1) = 197 since (840*0+197)*T_0(8,1)*T_0(5,-5)^2*(-1)^0*2430^(1-1-0)/(1*5^(1-1)) = 197.

Mathematica

T[b_, c_, 0]=1; T[b_, c_, 1]=b;
T[b_, c_, n_]:=T[b, c, n]=(b(2n-1)T[b, c, n-1]-(b^2-4c)(n-1)T[b, c, n-2])/n;
a[n_]:=a[n]=Sum[(840k+197)T[8, 1, k]T[5, -5, k]^2*(-1)^k*2430^(n-1-k), {k, 0, n-1}]/(n*5^(n-1));
