a(n) is determined by the prime signature of n.
Compare with the multiplicative, self-inverse A225546, which also maps 2^e to the squarefree number A019565(e). However, this sequence maps p^e to the same squarefree number for every prime p, whereas A225546 maps the e-th power of progressively larger primes to progressively greater powers of A019565(e).
Both sequences map powers of squarefree numbers to powers of squarefree numbers.

Other identities. For all n >= 1:
a(a(n)) = A293444(n).

Alternative definition: a(1) = 1; a(2) = 2; a(n^2) = A003961(a(n)); a(A003961(n)) = a(n); if A059895(n, k) = 1, a(n*k) = a(n) * a(k).
For n >= 3, a(n) < n.
a(2n) = A334747(a(A006519(n))) * a(n/A006519(n)), where A006519(n) is the largest power of 2 dividing n.
a(2n+1) = a(A064989(2n+1)).
