N. J. A. Sloane

Rational primes that decompose in the field Q(sqrt(-1)). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 25 2017
These are the prime terms of A009003.
-1 is a quadratic residue mod a prime p if and only if p is in this sequence.
Sin(a(n)*Pi/2) = 1 with Pi = 3.1415..., see A070750. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 04 2002
If at least one of the odd primes p, q belongs to the sequence, then either both or neither of the congruences x^2 = p (mod q), x^2 = q (mod p) are solvable, according to Gauss reciprocity law. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 17 2003
Odd primes such that binomial(p-1, (p-1)/2) == 1 (mod p). - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 07 2004
Primes that are the hypotenuse of a right triangle with integer sides. The Pythagorean triple is {A002365(n), A002366(n), a(n)}.
Also, primes of the form a^k + b^k, k > 1. - Amarnath Murthy, Nov 17 2003
The square of a(n) is the average of two other squares. This fact gives rise to a class of monic polynomials x^2 + bx + c with b = a(n) that will factor over the integers regardless of the sign of c. See A114200. - Owen Mertens (owenmertens(AT)missouristate.edu), Nov 16 2005
Also such primes p that the last digit is always 1 for the Nexus numbers of form n^p - (n-1)^p. - Alexander Adamchuk, Aug 10 2006
The set of Pythagorean primes is a proper subset of the set of positive fundamental discriminants (A003658). - Paul Muljadi, Mar 28 2008
A079260(a(n)) = 1; complement of A137409. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 11 2008
From Artur Jasinski, Dec 10 2008: (Start)
If we take 4 numbers: 1, A002314(n), A152676(n), A152680(n) then multiplication table modulo a(n) is isomorphic to the Latin square:
   1 2 3 4
   2 4 1 3
   3 1 4 2
   4 3 2 1
and isomorphic to the multiplication table of {1, i, -i, -1} where i is sqrt(-1), A152680(n) is isomorphic to -1, A002314(n) with i or -i and A152676(n) vice versa -i or i. 1, A002314(n), A152676(n), A152680(n) are subfield of Galois field [a(n)]. (End)
Primes p such that the arithmetic mean of divisors of p^3 is an integer. There are 2 sequences of such primes: this one and A002145. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Oct 20 2009
Equivalently, the primes p for which the smallest extension of F_p containing the square roots of unity (necessarily F_p) contains the 4th roots of unity. In this respect, the n = 2 case of a family of sequences: see n=3 (A129805) and n=5 (A172469). - Katherine E. Stange, Feb 03 2010
Subsequence of A007969. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 18 2011
A151763(a(n)) = 1.
k^k - 1 is divisible by 4*k + 1 if 4*k + 1 is a prime (see Dickson reference). - Gary Detlefs, May 22 2013
Not only are the squares of these primes the sum of two nonzero squares, but the primes themselves are also. 2 is the only prime equal to the sum of two nonzero squares and whose square is not. 2 is therefore not a Pythagorean prime. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 10 2013
The statement that these primes are the sum of two nonzero squares follows from Fermat's theorem on the sum of two squares. - Jerzy R Borysowicz, Jan 02 2019
The decompositions of the prime and its square into two nonzero squares are unique. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 11 2013. See the Dickson reference, Vol. II, (B) on p. 227. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 13 2015
p^e for p prime of the form 4*k+1 and e >= 1 is the sum of 2 nonzero squares. - Jon Perry, Nov 23 2014
Primes p such that the area of the isosceles triangle of sides (p, p, q) for some integer q is an integer. - Michel Lagneau, Dec 31 2014
This is the set of all primes that are the average of two squares. - Richard R. Forberg, Mar 01 2015
Numbers k such that ((k-3)!!)^2 == -1 (mod k). - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 28 2016
This is a subsequence of primes of A004431 and also of A016813. - Bernard Schott, Apr 30 2022
In addition to the comment from Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 10 2013: All powers as well as the products of any of these primes are the sum of two nonzero squares. They are terms of A001481, which is closed under multiplication. - Klaus Purath, Nov 19 2023

			The following table shows the relationship between several closely related sequences:
Here p = A002144 = primes == 1 (mod 4), p = a^2+b^2 with a < b;
a = A002331, b = A002330, t_1 = ab/2 = A070151;
p^2 = c^2 + d^2 with c < d; c = A002366, d = A002365,
t_2 = 2ab = A145046, t_3 = b^2 - a^2 = A070079,
with {c,d} = {t_2, t_3}, t_4 = cd/2 = ab(b^2-a^2).
  ---------------------------------
   p  a  b  t_1  c   d t_2 t_3  t_4

a(7) = 53 = A002972(7)^2 + (2*A002973(7))^2 = 7^2 + (2*1)^2 = 49 + 4, and this is the only way. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 13 2015
