%N Numbers whose sum of divisors is a square.

%C If a and b are in the sequence and relatively prime, then a*b is also in the sequence. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Jan 12 2009

%C Apart from a(2), all terms are composite. Bunyakovsky's conjecture implies that this sequence is infinite, since then (e.g.) there are infinitely many primes of the form p = 3k^2 - 1, whence sigma(2p) = 3p + 3 = 9k^2. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, May 12 2011

%C See the Beukers, Luca and Oort link for a proof that the sequence is infinite. - _Robert Israel_, Oct 15 2017

%F A010052(A000203(a(n))) = 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jun 09 2013

%e 3 is in the sequence because its divisors are 1 and 3, which add up to 4 = 2^2.

%e 22 is in the sequence because its divisors are 1, 2, 11, 22, which add up to 36 = 6^2.

%e 32 is not in the sequence, because its divisors, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, add up to 63, which is one short of 8^2.
