elementary number theory - Does there exist an a such that an+1 is divisible by n3 for infinitely many n?

It is well known that there are infinitely many positive integers n such that 2n+1 is divisible by n.



Also it is well known that there exist infinitely many positive integers n such that 4n+1 is divisible by n2.




But I still cannot find any positive integer a for which there exist infinitely many positive integers n such that an+1 (or an1) is divisible by n3.



How can I find such and a or prove that it doesn't exist?
