COMMENTS

Number of elliptic points of order 3 for Gamma_0(n).
Equivalently, number of fixed points of Gamma_0(n) of type rho.
Values are 0 or a power of 2.
The comment above is true. Since both a(n) and A001615(n) are multiplicative we just have to verify that for prime powers. Note that A001615(p^e) = (p+1)*p^(e-1). For p == 1 (mod 3), p+1 == 2 (mod 3) so (p+1)*p^(e-1) == 2 (mod 3); for p == 2 (mod 3), p+1 is a multiple of 3 so (p+1)*p^(e-1) == 0 (mod 3). For p = 3, if e = 1 then p+1 == 1 (mod 3); if e > 1 then (p+1)*p^(e-1) == 0 (mod 3).
Equivalently, number of solutions to x^2 + x + 1 == 0 (mod n). (End)

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 1 if p = 3 and e = 1; 0 if p = 3 and e > 1; 2 if p == 1 (mod 3); 0 if p == 2 (mod 3). - David W. Wilson, Aug 01 2001
a(2*n) = a(3*n + 2) = a(9*n) = a(9*n + 6) = 0. - Michael Somos, Aug 14 2015
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 2*sqrt(3)/(3*Pi) = 0.367552... (A165952). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 11 2022
