Conjecture: for n > 1, a(n) is the smallest Carmichael number k with lpf(k) > prime(n). It seems that such Carmichael numbers have exactly three prime factors. - Thomas Ordowski, Apr 18 2017

The conjecture is true if a(n) < A285549(n) for all n > 1. It holds for all a(n) < 2^64. - Max Alekseyev and Thomas Ordowski, Mar 13 2018

If prime(n) < m < a(n), then m is prime if and only if p^(m-1) == 1 (mod m) for every prime p <= prime(n). - Thomas Ordowski, Mar 05 2018

By this conjecture in the second comment, a(n) <= A135720(n+1), with equality for n > 1 iff a(n) < a(n+1), namely for n = 2, 3, 5, 6, 12, 13, 15, 25, 28, 29, ... For such n, a(n) gives all terms of A300629 > 561. - Thomas Ordowski, Mar 10 2018
