COMMENTS

If n>2 and sigma(n) is prime, then n must be an even power of a prime number. For example, 1093 = sigma(3^6). - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jan 20 2004

All primes of the form 2^n-1 (Mersenne primes) are in the sequence because if n is a natural number then sigma(2^(n-1))=2^n-1. So A000668 is a subsequence of this sequence. If sigma(n) is prime then n is of the form p^(q-1) where both p & q are prime (the proof is easy). - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), May 28 2005

Primes of the form 1 + p + p^2 + ... + p^k where p is prime.

If n = sigma(p^k) is in the sequence, then k+1 is prime. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Dec 19 2011

Primes that are a repunit in a prime base. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Dec 19 2011.
