%C A261580 From _Jianing Song_, Aug 13 2019: (Start)
%C A261580 Primes p with 4 zeros in a fundamental period of A000129 mod p, that is, primes p such that A214027(p) = 4. For a proof of the equivalence between A214027(p) = 4 and A214028(p) being odd, see Section 2 of my link below.
%C A261580 For p > 2, p is in this sequence if and only if A175181(p) == 4 (mod 8).
%C A261580 This sequence contains all primes congruent to 5 modulo 8. This corresponds to case (1) for k = 6 in the Conclusion of Section 1 of my link below.
%C A261580 Conjecturely, since (k+2)/2 = 4 is a square, this sequence has density 7/24 in the primes; see the end of Section 1 of my link. (End) [Comment rewritten by _Jianing Song_, Jun 16 2024 and Jun 20 2024]
%C A261580 The conjecture above is an analog of Hasse's result that the set {p prime : ord(2,p) is odd} has density 7/24 in the primes, where ord(a,m) is the multiplicative order of a modulo m; see A014663. - _Jianing Song_, Jun 26 2025
