Primes p such that ord(-(3+sqrt(5))/2,p) = (p-1)/6, where ord(z,p) is the smallest integer k > 0 such that (z^k-1)/p is an algebraic integer.

Let {T(n)} be a sequence defined by T(0) = 0, T(1) = 1, T(n) = k*T(n-1) + T(n-2), K be the quadratic field Q[sqrt(k^2+4)], O_K be the ring of integer of K, u = (k+sqrt(k^2+4))/2. For a prime p not dividing k^2 + 4, the Pisano period of {T(n)} modulo p (that is, the smallest m > 0 such that T(n+m) == T(n) (mod p) for all n) is ord(u,p); the entry point of {T(n)} modulo p (that is, the smallest m > 0 such that T(m) == 0 (mod p)) is ord(-u^2,p).

For an odd prime p:

(a) if p decomposes in K, then (O_K/pO_K)* (the multiplicative group of O_K modulo p) is congruent to C_(p-1) X C_(p-1), so the entry point of {T(n)} modulo p is equal to (p-1)/s, s = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...;

(b) if p is inert in K, then u^(p+1) == -1 (mod p), (-u^2)^(p+1) == 1 (mod p), so the entry point of {T(n)} modulo p is equal to (p+1)/s, s = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Here k = 1, and this sequence gives primes such that (a) holds and s = 6. For even s, all terms are congruent to 1 modulo 4.

* Here "Decomposing primes" means primes such that Legendre(5,p) = 1, i.e., p == 1, 4 (mod 5).
