For odd n, if sigma(phi(n))/sigma(n)=3 then sigma(phi(2*n))/sigma(2*n)=1. - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 21 2002.
Comments from Vim Wenders, Nov 01 2006: (Start)
This is almost certainly false for even n. For odd n we have phi(n)=phi(2n) and with sigma(2)=3 trivially sigma(phi(n))/sigma(n)=3 <=> sigma(phi(2n))/sigma(2n) = sigma(phi(n))/3.sigma(n)=1.
But suppose n=2m, m odd: again with phi(2m)=phi(m) and sigma(2)=3, sigma(phi(2m)) / sigma(2m)=3 => sigma(phi( m)) /3sigma( m)=3 => sigma(phi( m)) / sigma( m)=9; and with sigma(4)=7 sigma( phi(4m))/ sigma(4m)=1 => sigma(2phi( m))/7sigma( m)=1 => sigma(2phi( m))/ sigma( m)=7. So we get the condition sigma(phi( m)) / sigma( m)=9 <=> sigma(2phi( m))/ sigma( m)=7 which will fail. So if there is a (very) big odd number n in A066831 (numbers n such that sigma(n) divides sigma(phi(n))) with A066831(n) = 9, the conjecture is wrong. I admit I could not yet find such a number, nor do i really know it exists, i.e., A067385(9) exists. (End)
