Number of primitive sublattices of index n in generic 2-dimensional lattice; also index of Gamma_0(n) in SL_2(Z).
A generic 2-dimensional lattice L = <V,W> consists of all vectors of the form mV + nW, (m,n integers). A sublattice S = <aV+bW, cV+dW> has index |ad-bc| and is primitive if gcd(a,b,c,d) = 1. The generic lattice L has precisely a(2) = 3 sublattices of index 2, namely <2V,W>, <V,2W> and <V+W,2V> (which = <V+W,2W>) and so on for other indices.
The sublattices of index n are in 1-to-1 correspondence with matrices [a b; 0 d] with a>0, ad=n, b in [0..d-1]. The number of these is Sum_{d|n} = sigma(n), which is A000203. A sublattice is primitive if gcd(a,b,d) = 1; the number of these is n * product_{p|n} (1+1/p), which is the present sequence.
SL_2(Z) = Gamma is the group of all 2 X 2 matrices [a b; c d] where a,b,c,d are integers with ad-bc = 1 and Gamma_0(N) is usually defined as the subgroup of this for which N|c. But conceptually Gamma is best thought of as the group of (positive) automorphisms of a lattice <V,W>, its typical element taking V -> aV + bW, W -> cV + dW and then Gamma_0(N) can be defined as the subgroup consisting of the automorphisms that fix the sublattice <NV,W> of index N. - J.

Dedekind proved that if n = k_i*j_i for i in I represents all the ways to write n as a product, and e_i=gcd(k_i,j_i), then a(n)= sum(k_i / (e_i * phi(e_i)), i in I ) [cf. Dickson, History of the Theory of Numbers, Vol. 1, p. 123].

The Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if a(n)/n - e^gamma*log(log(n)) < 0 for any n > 30. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jul 12 2011
The Riemann Hypothesis is also equivalent to another inequality, see the Sole and Planat link. - Thomas Ordowski, May 28 2017
An infinitary analog of this sequence is the sum of the infinitary divisors of n (see A049417). - Vladimir Shevelev, Apr 01 2014

From Jianing Song, Nov 05 2022: (Start)
a(n) is the number of subgroups of C_n X C_n that are isomorphic to C_n, where C_n is the cyclic group of order n. Proof: the number of elements of order n in C_n X C_n is A007434(n) (they are the elements of the form (a,b) in C_n X C_n where gcd(a,b,n) = 1), and each subgroup isomorphic to C_n contains phi(n) generators, so the number of such subgroups is A007434(n)/phi(n) = a(n).
The total number of order-n subgroups of C_n X C_n is A000203(n). (End)
