Main diagonal of the infinite array T(k,n) = 1 + Sum_{i=1..k} n^prime(i).
a(n) is prime for n = 1, 2, 4 -- what is the next prime in the sequence?
The next prime in the sequence is for n = 20. It has 93 digits. - Harvey P. Dale, Jan 18 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = 1 + n^2 + n^3 + n^5 + ... + n^prime(n).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 = 1 + 1^2.
a(2) = 13 = 1 +2^2 +2^3.
a(3) = 280 = 1 +3^2 +3^3 +3^5.
a(4) = 17489 = 1 +4^2 +4^3 +4^5 +4^7.
a(5) = 48909526 = 1 +5^2 +5^3 +5^5 +5^7 +5^11.
a(6) = 13423779037 = 1 +6^2 +6^3 +6^5 +6^7 +6^11 +6^13.
a(7) = 232729381165100 = 1 +7^2 +7^3 +7^5 +7^7 +7^11 +7^13 +7^17.
a(8) = 146367546237420097 = 1 +8^2 +8^3 +8^5 +8^7 +8^11 +8^13 +8^17 +8^19.
