Primes that are the sum of no fewer than four positive squares.
Discriminant is 32, class is 2. Binary quadratic forms ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 have discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac and gcd(a, b, c) = 1.
Primes p such that x^4 = 2 has just two solutions mod p. Subsequence of A040098. Solutions mod p are represented by integers from 0 to p - 1. For p > 2, i is a solution mod p of x^4 = 2 if and only if p - i is a solution mod p of x^4 = 2, so the sum of the two solutions is p. The solutions are given in A065907 and A065908. - Klaus Brockhaus, Nov 28 2001
As this is a subset of A001132, this is also a subset of the primes of form x^2 - 2y^2. And as this is also a subset of A038873, this is also a subset of the primes of form x^2 - 2y^2. - Tito Piezas III, Dec 28 2008
Subsequence of A141164. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 26 2011
Also a subsequence of primes of the form x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 1. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Apr 05 2012
Primes p such that p XOR 6 = p - 6. - Brad Clardy, Jul 22 2012
