Comments

Observation: All the terms in this sequence, after a(1), are the larger of the two consecutive primes which have positive difference either 2^3 or 4^3.

Superset of A031927 as the sequence contains for example numbers like 89753, 107441, 288647,.. (with gaps of 4^3...) that are not in A031927. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 06 2014

Example

97 is prime and appears in the sequence because 97 - 89 = 8 = 2^3.
397 is prime and appears in the sequence because 397 - 389 = 8 = 2^3.

Maple

A243155:= proc() local a; a:=evalf((ithprime(n+1)-ithprime(n))^(1/3)); if a=floor(a) then RETURN (ithprime(n+1)); fi; end: seq(A243155 (), n=1..100);

Mathematica

n = 0; Do[t = Prime[k] - Prime[k - 1]; If[IntegerQ[t^(1/3)], n++; Print[n, " ", Prime[k]]], {k, 2, 15*10^4}]
