%N Second MTF-transform of the primes (A000040). Replace prime(k) with prime(A064988(k)) in the prime factorization of n.

%C A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798. We define the MTF-transform as shifting a number's prime indices along a function; see the Mathematica program.

%e First, we have

%e - 4 = prime(1) * prime(1),

%e - A000040(1) = 2,

%e - A064988(4) = prime(2) * prime(2) = 9.

%e Similarly, A064988(3) = 5. Next,

%e - 35 = prime(3) * prime(4),

%e - A064988(3) = 5,

%e - A064988(4) = 9,

%e - a(35) = prime(5) * prime(9) = 253.

%t primeMS[n_]:=If[n==1,{},Flatten[Cases[FactorInteger[n],{p_,k_}:>Table[PrimePi[p],{k}]]]];

%t mtf[f_][n_]:=Product[If[f[i]==0,1,Prime[f[i]]],{i,primeMS[n]}];

%t Array[mtf[mtf[Prime]],100]

%Y Other multiplicative sequences: A003961, A357852, A064989, A357977, A357980.

%Y Applying the transformation only once gives A064988.

%Y The union is A076610 (numbers whose prime indices are themselves prime).

%Y For partition numbers instead of primes we have A357979.

%Y A000040 lists the primes.

%Y A056239 adds up prime indices, row-sums of A112798.
