Comments

tau(k) is the number of positive divisors of k (A000005).

Numbers k such that A000005(A007778(k)) is a prime.

Lesser of twin primes (A001359) are terms. If p is lesser of twin primes then tau(p^(p+1)) = p + 2 (see A006512).

Sequence of composite terms c: 4, 25, 49, 125, 343, 529, 1369, ...; (tau(c^(c+1)): 11, 53, 101, 379, 1033, 1061, 2741, ...).

Numbers of the form p^k where p is prime and 1 + k * (1 + p^k) is prime. - Robert Israel, Sep 02 2024

Example

tau(4^5) = tau(1024) = 11 (prime).

Maple

N:= 10000: # for terms <= N
P:= select(isprime, [2, seq(i, i=3..N, 2)]):
R:= {}:
for p in P do
  Qs:= select(q -> isprime(1 + q + q*p^q), {$1..ilog[p](N)});
  R:= R union map(q -> p^q, Qs)
od:
sort(convert(R, list)); # Robert Israel, Sep 02 2024
