This sequence gives the primes p which satisfy norm(rho(p)) = - 1 with rho(p) := 2*cos(Pi/p) (the length ratio (smallest diagonal)/side in the regular p-gon). The norm of an algebraic number (over Q) is the product over all zeros of its minimal polynomial. Here norm(rho(p)) = (-1)^delta(p)* C(p, 0), with the degree delta(p) = A055034(p) = (p-1)/2. For p == 5 (mod 8) the norm is C(p, 0) (see a comment on 2*A230076) and for p == 7 (mod 8) the norm is -C(p, 0) (see a comment on A186302). For the primes with norm(rho(p)) = +1 see A033200. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 24 2013
