COMMENT

A sequence of Galois Fields from a study of {and, xor} logical information.

GF[2] is taken as a Boolean algebra start. GF[2]->GF[4]->GF[7]->GF[13]->GF[25]->GF[49]-> GF[97]->GF[193] as Category theory parallel to the Lie group sequence: U(1)->SU(2)->SU(3)->SU(4)->SU(5)->SU(7)->SU(10)->SU(14) After the 8th field there is a category symmetry breaking that isolates a supersymmetry.

FORMULA

3*2^(n-1) + 1. - Ralf Stephan, May 18 2007

MATHEMATICA

a[1] = 2; a[2] = 4; a[n_] := a[n] = 2*a[n - 1] - 1; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 32}]

CROSSREFS

Cf. A003945(n-1) + 1.
