The term "prime power" is ambiguous. To a mathematician it means any number p^k, p prime, k >= 0, including p^0 = 1.
Any nonzero integer is a product of primes and units, where the units are +1 and -1. This is tied to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic which proves that the factorizations are unique up to order and units. (So, since 1 = p^0 does not have a well defined prime base p, it is sometimes not regarded as a prime power. See A246655 for the sequence without 1.)
These numbers are (apart from 1) the numbers of elements in finite fields. - Franz Vrabec, Aug 11 2004
Numbers whose divisors form a geometrical progression. The divisors of p^k are 1, p, p^2, p^3, ..., p^k. - Amarnath Murthy, Jan 09 2002
These are also precisely the orders of those finite affine planes that are known to exist as of today. (The order of a finite affine plane is the number of points in an arbitrarily chosen line of that plane. This number is unique for all lines comprise the same number of points.) - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Aug 09 2006
Except for first term, the index of the second number divisible by n in A002378, if the index equals n. - Mats Granvik, Nov 18 2007
These are precisely the numbers such that lcm(1,...,m-1) < lcm(1,...,m) (=A003418(m) for m>0; here for m=1, the l.h.s. is taken to be 0). We have a(n+1)=a(n)+1 if a(n) is a Mersenne prime or a(n)+1 is a Fermat prime; the converse is true except for n=7 (from Catalan's conjecture) and n=1, since 2^1-1 and 2^0+1 are not considered as Mersenne resp. Fermat prime. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 18 2007, Apr 18 2010
The sequence is A000015 without repetitions, or more formally, A000961=Union[A000015]. - Zak Seidov, Feb 06 2008

Index entries for "core" sequences

There are four different sequences which may legitimately be called "prime powers": A000961 (p^k, k >= 0), A246655 (p^k, k >= 1), A246547 (p^k, k >= 2), A025475 (p^k, k=0 and k >= 2). When you refer to "prime powers", be sure to specify which of these you mean. Also A001597 is the sequence of nontrivial powers n^k, n >= 1, k >= 2. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 24 2018

a(k)=k for k=squarefree numbers A005117. - Lekraj Beedassy, Sep 05 2006
A note on square roots of numbers: we can write sqrt(n) = b*sqrt(c) where c is squarefree. Then b = A000188(n) is the "inner square root" of n, c = A007913(n), b*c = A019554(n) = "outer square root" of n, and a(n) = lcm(a(b),c). Unless n is biquadrateful (A046101), a(n) = lcm(b,c).

The Mobius transform of the sequence generates the sequence of absolute values of A097945. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 04 2011
Appears to be the period length of k^n mod n. For example, n^12 mod 12 has period 6, repeating 1,4,9,4,1,0, so a(12)= 6. - Gary Detlefs, Apr 14 2013
a(n) differs from A014963(n) when n is a term of A024619. - Eric Desbiaux, Mar 24 2014
a(n) is also the smallest base (also termed radix) for which the representation of 1/n is of finite length.  For example a(12) = 6 and 1/12 in base 6 is 0.03, which is of finite length. - Lee A. Newberg, Jul 27 2016

The minimal exponent of the symmetric group S_n, i.e., the least positive integer for which x^a(n)=1 for all x in S_n. - Franz Vrabec, Dec 28 2008
Product over all primes of highest power of prime less than or equal to n. a(0) = 1 by convention.
Also smallest number whose set of divisors contains an n-term arithmetic progression. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 09 2002
An assertion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis is: | log(a(n)) - n | < sqrt(n) * log(n)^2. - Lekraj Beedassy, Aug 27 2006. (This is wrong for n = 1 and n = 2. Should "for n large enough" be added? - Georgi Guninski, Oct 22 2011)
Corollary 3 of Farhi gives a proof that a(n) >= 2^(n-1). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 15 2009
Appears to be row products of the triangle T(n,k) = b(A010766) where b = A130087/A130086. - Mats Granvik, Jul 08 2009
Greg Martin (see link) proved that "the product of the Gamma function sampled over the set of all rational numbers in the open interval (0,1) whose denominator in lowest terms is at most n" equals (2*Pi)^(1/2)*a(n)^(-1/2). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jul 28 2009
a(n) = lcm(A188666(n), A188666(n)+1, ..., n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 25 2011
a(n+1) is the smallest integer such that all polynomials a(n+1)*(1^i + 2^i + ... + m^i) in m, for i=0,1,...,n, are polynomials with integer coefficients. - Vladimir Shevelev, Dec 23 2011
It appears that A020500(n) = a(n)/a(n-1). - Asher Auel, corrected by Bill McEachen, Apr 05 2024
n-th distinct value = A051451(n). - Matthew Vandermast, Nov 27 2009
a(n+1) = least common multiple of n-th row in A213999. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 03 2012
For n > 2, (n-1) = Sum_{k=2..n} exp(a(n)*2*i*Pi/k). - Eric Desbiaux, Sep 13 2012
First column minus second column of A027446. - Eric Desbiaux, Mar 29 2013
For n > 0, a(n) is the smallest number k such that n is the n-th divisor of k. - Michel Lagneau, Apr 24 2014
Slowest growing integer > 0 in Z converging to 0 in Z^ when considered as profinite integer. - Herbert Eberle, May 01 2016
What is the largest number of consecutive terms that are all equal? I found 112 equal terms from a(370261) to a(370372). - Dmitry Kamenetsky, May 05 2019
Answer: there exist arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive terms with the same value; also, the maximal run of consecutive terms with different values is 5 from a(1) to a(5) (see link Roger B. Eggleton). - Bernard Schott, Aug 07 2019
Related to the inequality (54) in Ramanujan's paper about highly composite numbers A002182, also used in A199337: a(A329570(m))^2 is a (not minimal) bound above which all highly composite numbers are divisible by m, according to the right part of that inequality. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 04 2020
For n > 2, a(n) is of the form 2^e_1 * p_2^e_2 * ... * p_m^e_m, where e_m = 1 and e = floor(log_2(p_m)) <= e_1. Therefore, 2^e * p_m^e_m is a primitive Zumkeler number (A180332). Therefore, 2^e_1 * p_m^e_m is a Zumkeller number (A083207). Therefore, for n > 2, a(n) = 2^e_1 * p_m^e_m * r, where r is relatively prime to 2*p_m, is a Zumkeller number (see my proof at A002182 for details). - Ivan N. Ianakiev, May 10 2020
For n > 1, 2|(a(n)+2) ... n|(a(n)+n), so a(n)+2 .. a(n)+n are all composite and (part of) a prime gap of at least n.  (Compare n!+2 .. n!+n). - Stephen E. Witham, Oct 09 2021

			LCM of {1,2,3,4,5,6} = 60. The primes up to 6 are 2, 3 and 5. floor(log(6)/log(2)) = 2 so the exponent of 2 is 2.
floor(log(6)/log(3)) = 1 so the exponent of 3 is 1.
floor(log(6)/log(5)) = 1 so the exponent of 5 is 1. Therefore, a(6) = 2^2 * 3^1 * 5^1 = 60. - _David A. Corneth_, Jun 02 2017

The prime number theorem implies that lcm(1,2,...,n) = exp(n(1+o(1))) as n -> infinity. In other words, log(lcm(1,2,...,n))/n -> 1 as n -> infinity. - Jonathan Sondow, Jan 17 2005

We follow Maple in defining Phi_0 to be x; it could equally well be taken to be 1.
From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 29 2013: (Start)
The length of row n  >= 1 of this  table is phi(n) + 1 = A000010(n) + 1. Row n = 0 has here length 2.
Phi_n(x) is the minimal polynomial of omega_n := exp(i*2*Pi/n) over the rationals. Namely, Phi_n(x) = Product_{k=0..n-1, gcd(k,n)=1} (x - (omega_n)^k). See the Graham et al. reference, 4.50 a, pp. 149, 506.
Phi_n(x) = Product_{d|n} (x^d - 1)^(mu(n/d)) with the Moebius function mu(n) = A008683(n), n >= 1. See the Graham et al. reference, 4.50 b, pp. 149, 506.
Phi_n(x) = Phi_{rad(n)}(x^(n/rad(n))), n >= 2, with rad(n) = A007947(n), the squarefree kernel of n. Proof from the preceding formula, where only squarefree n/d (A005117) from the set of divisors of n enter, by mapping each factor (numerator or denominator) of the left hand side to one of the right hand side and vice versa.
(End)
Each row can be considered as the last column of the companion matrix of the cyclotomic polynomial: A000010(n) is the size of such a square matrix, last column has opposite signs and the last term (before last term of each row in A013595) equal to A008683(n). - Eric Desbiaux, Dec 14 2015

			Phi_0 = x; Phi_1 = x - 1; Phi_2 = x + 1; Phi_3 = x^2 + x + 1; Phi_4 = x^2 + 1; ...
From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Oct 29 2013: (Start)
The irregular triangle a(n,m) begins:
n\m 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 ...
0:  0  1
1: -1  1
2:  1  1
3:  1  1  1
4:  1  0  1
5:  1  1  1  1  1
6:  1 -1  1
7:  1  1  1  1  1  1  1
8:  1  0  0  0  1
9:  1  0  0  1  0  0  1
10: 1 -1  1 -1  1
11: 1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1
12: 1  0 -1  0  1
13: 1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1
14: 1 -1  1 -1  1 -1  1
15: 1 -1  0  1 -1  1  0 -1  1
...
Phi_15(x) = (x^1 - 1)*((x^3 - 1)^(-1))*((x^5 - 1)^(-1))*(x^15 - 1) because mu(15) = mu(1) = +1 and mu(3) = mu(5) = -1. Hence Phi_15(x) = 1 - x + x^3 - x^4 + x^5 - x^7 + x^8, giving row n = 15.
Example for the reduction via the squarefree kernel: Phi_12(x) = Phi_6(x^(12/6)) = Phi_6(x^2). By the formula with the Mobius function Phi_6(x) = Phi_2(x^3)/Phi_2(x) = 1 - x + x^2 and with x -> x^2 this becomes Phi_12(x) = 1 - x^2 + x^4.
