Comments

k = {2, 3, 4, 28} yields primes p(k) = {3, 5, 7, 107}. There are no more such k up to k=100. Verified by Ray Chandler.

Formula

Numbers k such that (prime(k)-1)! + prime(k)^3 is prime, where prime(k) is the k-th prime.

Example

a(3) = 4 because (prime(4)-1)! + prime(4)^3 = (7-1)! + 7^3 = 720 + 343 = 1063 is the 3rd prime of this form.
