COMMENTS

We have the polynomial factorization n^12+1 = (n^4+1) * (n^8 - n^4 + 1) Hence after the initial n=1 prime, the binomial can never be prime. It can be semiprime iff n^4+1 is prime and n^8 - n^4 + 1 is prime.

FORMULA

a(n)^12+1 is semiprime A001538. a(n)^4+1 is prime and a(n)^8 - a(n)^4 + 1 is prime.

EXAMPLE

2^12+1 = 4097 = 17 * 241,

6^12+1 = 2176782337 = 1297 * 1678321,

34^12+1 = 2386420683693101057 = 1336337 * 1785792568561,

1136^12+1 = 4618915067251126036363854530631172097 = 1665379926017 * 2773490297975392253706241.
