COMMENTS

If n is a term of the sequence, then the parallelipiped formed by the vectors {n, phi(n), sigma(n)}, {n+1, phi(n+1), sigma(n+1)}, {n+2, phi(n+2), sigma(n+2) has the same volume as that of an integral cube.

EXAMPLE

For 217, the corresponding matrix is {{217,phi(217), sigma(217)},{218,phi(218), sigma(218)},{219,phi(219), sigma(219)} = {{217,180,256},{218,108,330},{219,144,296}}, whose determinant is 216 = 6^3. Therefore 217 is a term of the sequence.

MATHEMATICA

p[n_] := Det[{{n, EulerPhi[n], DivisorSigma[1, n]}, {n + 1, EulerPhi[n + 1], DivisorSigma[1, n + 1]}, {n + 2, EulerPhi[n + 2], DivisorSigma[1, n + 2]}}]; Do[If[IntegerQ[p[i]^(1/3)], Print[i]], {i, 1, 10^5}]
