%N a(n) is the least prime p such that n*(p#^3)-1 is prime or 0 if n > 1 is a cube so no prime possible.

%e 1*(2^3)-1 = 7 is prime, so a(1) = 2.

%e 2*(2^3)-1 = 15 is composite, 2*((2*3)^3)-1 = 431 is prime, so a(2) = 3.

%t a[n_] := If[n>1 && IntegerQ[Surd[n, 3]], 0, Module[{p = pr = 2}, While[!PrimeQ[n * pr^3 - 1], p = NextPrime[p]; pr *= p]; p]]; Array[a, 100] (* _Amiram Eldar_, Sep 11 2021 *)
