Comments

We have the polynomial factorization: n^13+1 = (n+1) * (n^12 - n^11 + n^10 - n^9 + n^8 - n^7 + n^6 - n^5 + n^4 - n^3 + n^2 - n + 1) Hence after the initial n=1 prime, the binomial can never be prime. It can be semiprime iff n+1 is prime and n^12 - n^11 + n^10 - n^9 + n^8 - n^7 + n^6 - n^5 + n^4 - n^3 + n^2 - n + 1 is prime.
