From Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra, Nov 27 2022: (Start)
Are all terms pairwise coprime? If so, they induce a permutation of the natural numbers, as Fermat numbers do (see A343767).
Are all terms squarefree?
A342173(n) <= length(a(n)) = A055642(a(n)) (the proof is due to Jinyuan Wang). (End)

FORMULA
From Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra, Nov 27 2022: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..prime(n)-1} (-prime(n))^k.
a(n) = F(prime(n), 1)/F(prime(n), 0), where F(b, n) = b^b^n + 1 (i.e., F(b, n) is the n-th base-b Fermat number, see A129290). (End)
MAPLE
a:= n-> (p-> (p^p+1)/(p+1))(ithprime(n)): seq(a(n), n=2..12); # Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra, Nov 27 2022
