FORMULA
a(n) = A066100(n)^2. - Amiram Eldar, Aug 16 2024
EXAMPLE
All these terms are squares of primes {2, 3, 11, 191, 269, 383, 509, 809, 827, 887, 1409, 1427, 1787, 1907, 1949, 2141, 2243, 2339, 2357, 2477, 2591, 2699, 2789, ...}, so their sigma_3(p^2) = p^6 + p^3 + 1 has polynomial of degree 6.
sigma_3(9) = 1 + 27 + 729 = 757 is a prime.
