Prime divisors of some shifted products

We study prime divisors of various sequences of positive integers A(n)+1, n=1,…,N, such that the ratios a(n)=A(n)/A(n−1) have some number-theoretic or combinatorial meaning. In the case a(n)=n, we obviously have A(n)=n!, for which several new results about prime divisors of n!+1 have recently bee...
