%N Numbers whose sum of proper (or aliquot) divisors is a prime.

%C Assuming the Goldbach conjecture, it is easy to show that all primes, except 2 and 5, are the sum of the proper divisors of some number. - _T. D. Noe_, Nov 29 2006

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A037020/b037020.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%H Paul Pollack, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1215/ijm/1427897171">Some arithmetic properties of the sum of proper divisors and the sum of prime divisors</a>, Illinois J. Math. 58:1 (2014), pp. 125-147.

%F A001065(a(n)) is in A000040.

%F Pollack proves that a(n) >> n log n. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jun 28 2021

%e The aliquot divisors of 27 are 1, 3, and 9, whose sum is 13, a prime, so 27 is a term.
