%N a(n) is the smallest number k such that sigma(k) and sigma(k^n) are both primes.

%C Sequence b(n) of the smallest numbers m such that sigma(m^k) are all primes for k = 1..n: 2, 2, 4, ... (if fourth term exists, it must be bigger than 10^16).

%C a(n) is of the form p^e where p, e+1 and e*n+1 are primes. e=1 is possible only in the case p=2. - _Robert Israel_, Feb 06 2018
