COMMENTS

On the Riemann Hypothesis, a(n) > exp(exp(n / e^gamma)) for n > 3. Unconditionally, a(n) > exp(exp(0.9976n / e^gamma)) for n > 3, where the constant is related to A004394(1000000). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 06 2012
Equivalently, a(n) is the smallest number k such that sigma(k)/k = n. - Derek Orr, Jun 19 2015
The number of divisors of these terms are: 1, 4, 16, 96, 1920, 110592, 1751777280, 63121588161085440. - Michel Marcus, Jun 20 2015
Given n, let S_n be the sequence of integers k that satisfy numerator(sigma(k)/k) = n. Then a(n) is a member of S_n. In fact a(n) = S_n(i), where the successive values of i are 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, (23, 6, 31, 12, ...), where the terms in parentheses need to be confirmed. - Michel Marcus, Nov 22 2015
The first four terms are the only multiperfect numbers in A025487 among the 1600 initial terms of A007691. Can it be proved that these are the only ones among the whole A007691? See also A349747. - Antti Karttunen, Dec 04 2021
