The product of (n-1), n, and (n+1) = n^3 - n. - Harvey P. Dale, Jan 17 2011

For n > 2, a(n) = A001318(n-2) * A007310(n-1), if A007310(n-1) is prime. Also a(n) is a subsequence of A000330. - Richard R. Forberg, Dec 25 2013

If p is an odd prime it can always be the side length of a leg of a primitive Pythagorean triangle. However it constrains the other leg to have a side length of (p^2-1)/2 and the hypotenuse to have a side length of (p^2+1)/2. The resulting triangle has an area equal to (p-1)*p*(p+1)/4. a(n) is 1/6 the area of such triangles. - Frank M Jackson, Dec 06 2017
