Comments

Obviously, k+1 and k-1 are always prime numbers.

If k is a term then m = (k - 1) * (k^2 + k + 1) is a term of A169635, i.e., A001157(m) = A001157(m+2) (De Koninck, 2002). - Amiram Eldar, Apr 19 2024

Example

a(1) = 6 because 6^3-1 = 215 = 5*43 and 6^3+1 = 217 = 7*31, therefore 215, 217 are both semiprimes.
