%N Numbers n for which Ramanujan's function tau(n)=A000594(n) is an odd prime.
%C Here, negative integers whose absolute value is prime are considered prime.
%C a(1) = 63001 was found by Lehmer in 1965. It is known that tau(n) is odd if and only if n is an odd square. Indeed, a(1)=251^2, a(2)=677^2, ..., a(7)=47^4. The first sixth power in the sequence is 1151^6.
%C From _Olivier Rozier_, Feb 03 2016 (Start)
%C a(n) = p^(q-1) for p,q odd primes, and p not included in A007659, so that a(n) is a subsequence of A036454. Consequence of the arithmetical properties: (i) tau function is multiplicative, (ii) for p prime, tau(p^(k-1)) is the k-th term of a Lucas sequence.
%C It is conjectured that the equation |tau(n)|=2 has no solution. (End)
