%N Smaller member p of a twin prime pair (p,p+2) with a cube sum N^3.

%C It is conjectured that the number of twin prime pairs is infinite, one of the great open questions in number theory.

%C It is conjectured that this sequence is infinite.

%C Necessarily the cube base is even: N=2n => p = (2n)^3 / 2 - 1.

%C For n>1: necessarily n=3k since for n=3k+1, p = (2n)^3 / 2 - 1 is divisible by 3, and for n=3k+2, p+2 = (2n)^3 / 2 + 1 is divisible by 3.

%C It has been proved that the pair (p,p+2) is a twin prime couple iff 4((p-1)! + 1) == -p (mod p*(p+2)).

%C Equivalently, primes of the form 4n^3-1 such that 4n^3+1 is also prime. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 27 2013
