COMMENTS
Conjecture 1: (i) a(n) is a positive integer for each n > 0; also, a(n) is odd if and only if n is a power of two. Moreover, we have the identity Sum_{k>=0} ((40k+13)/(-50)^k)*T_k(4,1)*T_k(1,-1)^2 = 55*sqrt(15)/(9*Pi).
(ii) Let p > 5 be a prime. Then Sum_{k=0..p-1} ((40k+13)/(-50)^k)*T_k(4,1)* T_k(1,-1)^2 == (p/3)*(12 + 5*Leg(3/p) + 22*Leg(p/15)) (mod p^2), where Leg(a/p) denotes the Legendre symbol. Also, for the sum S(p) = Sum_{k=0..p-1} T_k(4,1)* T_k(1,-1)^2/(-50)^k, if Leg(-5/p) = -1 then S(p) == 0 (mod p^2); if p == 1,9 (mod 20) and p = x^2 + 5*y^2 with x and y integers then S(p) == 4x^2-2p (mod p^2); if p == 3,7 (mod 20) and 2p = x^2 + 5*y^2 with x and y integers then S(p) == 2x^2-2p (mod p^2).
Conjecture 2: (i) For any n > 0, the number b(n):=(1/n)*Sum_{k=0..n-1} (40k+27)*(-6)^(n-1-k)*T_k(4,1)*T_k(1,-1)^2 is an integer. Moreover, b(n) is odd if and only if n is a power of two.
(ii) Let p > 3 be a prime. Then Sum_{k=0..p-1} ((40k+27)/(-6)^k)*T_k(4,1)* T_k(1,-1)^2 == (p/9)*(55*Leg(-5/p) + 198*Leg(3/p)-10) (mod p^2). Also, for the sum T(p) = Sum_{k=0..p-1} T_k(4,1)*T_k(1,-1)^2/(-6)^k, if Leg(-5/p) = -1 then T(p) == 0 (mod p^2); if p == 1,9 (mod 20) and p = x^2 + 5*y^2 with x and y integers then T(p) == Leg(p/3)*(4x^2-2p) (mod p^2); if p == 3,7 (mod 20) and 2p = x^2 + 5*y^2 with x and y integers then T(p) == Leg(p/3)(2p-2x^2) (mod p^2).

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 13 since (40*0+13)*(-1)^0*50^(1-1-0)*T_0(4,1)*T_0(1,-1)^2/1 = 13/1 = 13.
