COMMENT

For k=1, these are the Fermat primes A019434. Is the set of generalized Fermat primes infinite? Conjecture that there are only a finite number of generalized Fermat primes for each value of k. See A077659, which shows that in cases such as k=11, there appear to be no primes. See A078901 for generalized Fermat numbers.
See A080131 for the conjectured number of primes for each k. See A080208 for the least k such that (k+1)^2^n + k^2^n is prime. The largest probable prime of this form discovered to date is the 10217-digit 312^2^12 + 311^2^12.
