%N Primes p such that (p^64 + 1)/2 is prime.

%C Expressions of the form m^j + 1 can be factored (e.g., m^3 + 1 = (m + 1)*(m^2 - m + 1)) for any positive integer j except when j is a power of 2, so (p^j + 1)/2 for prime p cannot be prime unless j is a power of 2. A005383, A048161, A176116, A340480, A341210, A341224, and this sequence list primes of the form (p^j + 1)/2 for j=2^0=1, j=2^1=2, ..., j=2^6=64, respectively.

%e (3^64 + 1)/2 = 1716841910146256242328924544641 is prime, so 3 is a term.

%e (5^64 + 1)/2 = 271050543121376108501863200217485427856445313 = 769*3666499598977*96132956782643741951225664001, so 5 is not a term.
