Note that, by analogy with factorial primes, subfactorial primes, superfactorial primes and hyperfactorial primes, if a(n)+1 or a(n)-1 is prime, it should be called an ultrafactorial prime. These begin: a(0)+1 = a(1)+1 = 2, a(2)-1 = 3, a(2)+1 = 5. Are there any more? Note that a(3) = 46657 = 13 * 37 * 97 is a 3-brilliant number. a(3)-5, a(3)-3 and a(3)+5 are semiprime; a(3)-7 and a(3)+7 are primes. -
