%N Numbers n>1 such that prime of the form (n^k-1)/(n-1) does not exist for k>2; or A128164(n) = 0.

%C Appears to be the union of the perfect squares k^2 (for k>1) and the prime powers p^k (for k>1) with some exceptions, such as 2^3, 3^3, 2^7, etc.

%C The perfect powers except those of the form n^(p^m) where p and (n^(p^(m+1))-1)/(n^(p^m)-1) are primes, p>2 and m>=1. - _Max Alekseyev_, Mar 09 2009
