Multiplicative: If the canonical factorization of n into prime powers is the product of p^e(p) then sigma_k(n) = Product_p ((p^((e(p)+1)*k))-1)/(p^k-1).
Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (this sequence) (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001
A number n is abundant if sigma(n) > 2n (cf. A005101), perfect if sigma(n) = 2n (cf. A000396), deficient if sigma(n) < 2n (cf. A005100).
a(n) is the number of sublattices of index n in a generic 2-dimensional lattice. - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Jan 29 2001 [In the language of group theory, a(n) is the number of index-n subgroups of Z x Z. - Jianing Song, Nov 05 2022]
The sublattices of index n are in one-to-one correspondence with matrices [a b; 0 d] with a>0, ad=n, b in [0..d-1]. The number of these is Sum_{d|n} d = sigma(n), which is a(n). A sublattice is primitive if gcd(a,b,d) = 1; the number of these is n * Product_{p|n} (1+1/p), which is A001615. [Cf. Grady reference.]
Sum of number of common divisors of n and m, where m runs from 1 to n. - Naohiro Nomoto, Jan 10 2004
a(n) is the cardinality of all extensions over Q_p with degree n in the algebraic closure of Q_p, where p>n. - Volker Schmitt (clamsi(AT)gmx.net), Nov 24 2004. Cf. A100976, A100977, A100978 (p-adic extensions).
Let s(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-5) - a(n-7) + a(n-12) + a(n-15) - a(n-22) - a(n-26) + ..., then a(n) = s(n) if n is not pentagonal, i.e., n != (3 j^2 +- j)/2 (cf. A001318), and a(n) is instead s(n) - ((-1)^j)*n if n is pentagonal. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 05 2008 [corrected Apr 27 2012 by William J. Keith based on Ewell and by Andrey Zabolotskiy, Apr 08 2022]
Write n as 2^k * d, where d is odd. Then a(n) is odd if and only if d is a square. - Jon Perry, Nov 08 2012
Also total number of parts in the partitions of n into equal parts. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 16 2013
Note that sigma(3^4) = 11^2. On the other hand, Kanold (1947) shows that the equation sigma(q^(p-1)) = b^p has no solutions b > 2, q prime, p odd prime. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 21 2013, based on postings to the Number Theory Mailing List by Vladimir Letsko and Luis H. Gallardo
Limit_{m->infinity} (Sum_{n=1..prime(m)} a(n)) / prime(m)^2 = zeta(2)/2 = Pi^2/12 (A072691). See more at A244583. - Richard R. Forberg, Jan 04 2015
a(n) + A000005(n) is an odd number iff n = 2m^2, m>=1. - Richard R. Forberg, Jan 15 2015
a(n) = a(n+1) for n = 14, 206, 957, 1334, 1364 (A002961). - Zak Seidov, May 03 2016
Equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis: a(n) < H(n) + exp(H(n))*log(H(n)), for all n>1, where H(n) is the n-th harmonic number (Jeffrey Lagarias). See A057641 for more details. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 05 2016
a(n) is the total number of even parts in the partitions of 2*n into equal parts. More generally, a(n) is the total number of parts congruent to 0 mod k in the partitions of k*n into equal parts (the comment dated Jan 16 2013 is the case for k = 1). - Omar E. Pol, Nov 18 2019
From Jianing Song, Nov 05 2022: (Start)
a(n) is also the number of order-n subgroups of C_n X C_n, where C_n is the cyclic group of order n. Proof: by the correspondence theorem in the group theory, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the order-n subgroups of C_n X C_n = (Z x Z)/(nZ x nZ) and the index-n subgroups of Z x Z containing nZ x nZ. But an index-n normal subgroup of a (multiplicative) group G contains {g^n : n in G} automatically. The desired result follows from the comment from Naohiro Nomoto above.
The number of subgroups of C_n X C_n that are isomorphic to C_n is A001615(n). (End)

			For example, 6 is divisible by 1, 2, 3 and 6, so sigma(6) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12.
Let L = <V,W> be a 2-dimensional lattice. The 7 sublattices of index 4 are generated by <4V,W>, <V,4W>, <4V,W+-V>, <2V,2W>, <2V+W,2W>, <2V,2W+V>. Compare A001615.

G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n >= 1} x^(n^2)*(x^n + n*(1 - x^(2*n)))/(1 - x^n)^2 - differentiate equation 5 in Arndt w.r.t. x, and set x = 1.

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} tau(n/gcd(n,k))*phi(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)). - Richard L. Ollerton, May 07 2021
With the convention that a(n) = 0 for n <= 0 we have the recurrence a(n) = t(n) + Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)*(2*k + 1)*a(n - k*(k + 1)/2), where t(n) = (-1)^(m+1)*(2*m+1)*n/3 if n = m*(m + 1)/2, with m positive, is a triangular number else t(n) = 0. For example, n = 10 = (4*5)/2 is a triangular number, t(10) = -30, and so a(10) = -30 + 3*a(9) - 5*a(7) + 7*a(4) = -30 + 39 - 40 + 49 = 18. - Peter Bala, Apr 06 2022
Recurrence: a(p^x) = p*a(p^(x-1)) + 1, if p is prime and for any integer x. E.g., a(5^3) = 5*a(5^2) + 1 = 5*31 + 1 = 156. - Jules Beauchamp, Nov 11 2022

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).

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

a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). a(m) = a(n) iff m and n have the same prime signature, i.e., iff A046523(m) = A046523(n).

Because A046523 (the smallest representative of prime signature of n) and this sequence are functions of each other as A046523(n) = A181821(a(n)) and a(n) = a(A046523(n)), it implies that for all i, j: a(i) = a(j) <=> A046523(i) = A046523(j) <=> A101296(i) = A101296(j), i.e., that equivalence-class-wise this is equal to A101296, and furthermore, applying any function f on this sequence gives us a sequence b(n) = f(a(n)) whose equivalence class partitioning is equal to or coarser than that of A101296, i.e., b is then a sequence that depends only on the prime signature of n (the multiset of exponents of its prime factors), although not necessarily in a very intuitive way. - Antti Karttunen, Apr 28 2022

			20 = 2^2*5 has the exponents (2,1) in its prime factorization. Accordingly, a(20) = prime(2)*prime(1) = A000040(2)*A000040(1) = 3*2 = 6.

Smallest number of factors of all factorizations of n into squarefree numbers, see also A128651, A001055. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 30 2007
Maximum number of invariant factors among abelian groups of order n. - Álvar Ibeas, Nov 01 2014
a(n) is the highest of the frequencies of the parts of the partition having Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product(p_j-th prime, j=1..r) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(24) = 3; indeed, the partition having Heinz number 24 = 2*2*2*3 is [1,1,1,2], where the distinct parts 1 and 2 have frequencies 3 and 1, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 04 2015
From Thomas Ordowski, Dec 02 2019: (Start)
a(n) is the smallest k such that b^(phi(n)+k) == b^k (mod n) for all b.
The Euler phi function can be replaced by the Carmichael lambda function.
Problems:
(*) Are there composite numbers n > 4 such that n == a(n) (mod phi(n))? By Lehmer's totient conjecture, there are no such squarefree numbers.
(**) Are there odd numbers n such that a(n) > 1 and n == a(n) (mod lambda(n))? These are odd numbers n such that a(n) > 1 and b^n == b^a(n) (mod n) for all b.
(***) Are there odd numbers n such that a(n) > 1 and n == a(n) (mod ord_{n}(2))? These are odd numbers n such that a(n) > 1 and 2^n == 2^a(n) (mod n).
Note: if (***) do not exist, then (**) do not exist. (End)

a(n) = max_{k=1..A001221(n)} A124010(n,k). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 27 2011
a(1) = 0; for n > 1, a(n) = max(A067029(n), a(A028234(n))). - Antti Karttunen, Aug 08 2016
Conjecture: a(n) = a(A003557(n)) + 1. This relation together with a(1) = 0 defines the sequence. - Velin Yanev, Sep 02 2017
Comment from David J. Seal, Sep 18 2017: (Start)
This conjecture seems very easily provable to me: if the factorization of n is p1^k1 * p2^k2 * ... * pm^km, then the factorization of the largest squarefree divisor of n is p1 * p2 * ... * pm. So the factorization of A003557(n) is p1^(k1-1) * p2^(k2-1) * ... * pm^(km-1) if exponents of zero are allowed, or with the product terms that have an exponent of zero removed if they're not (if that results in an empty product, consider it to be 1 as usual).
The formula then follows from the fact that provided all ki >= 1, Max(k1, k2, ..., km) = Max(k1-1, k2-1, ..., km-1) + 1, and Max(k1-1, k2-1, ..., km-1) is not altered by removing the ki-1 values that are 0, provided we treat the empty Max() as being 0. That proves the formula and the provisos about empty products and Max() correspond to a(1) = 0.
Also, for any n, applying the formula Max(k1, k2, ..., km) times to n = p1^k1 * p2^k2 * ... * pm^km reduces all the exponents to zero, i.e., to the case a(1) = 0, so that case and the formula generate the sequence. (End)
Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^k * a(k) ~ c * n, where c = Sum_{k>=2} 1/((2^k-1)*zeta(k)) = 0.44541445377638761933... . - Amiram Eldar, Jul 28 2024
a(n) <= log(n)/log(2). - Hal M. Switkay, Jul 03 2025

Iterating n, a(n), a(a(n)), a(a(a(n))), ..., until 1 is reached, and taking the smallest prime factor (A020639) of each term gives a sequence of distinct primes in ascending order, while applying A302045 to the same terms gives the corresponding exponents (multiplicities) of those primes. Permutation pair A250245/A250246 maps between this non-standard prime factorization and the ordinary factorization of n. See also comments and examples in A302042.

Self-inverse permutation of natural numbers obtained by mapping the exponent of each prime in the prime factorization of n through involution A193231.

Iterating n, a(n), a(a(n)), a(a(a(n))), ..., until 1 is reached, and taking the Ludic factor (A272565) of each term gives a sequence of distinct Ludic numbers (A003309) in ascending order, while applying A302035 to the same terms gives the corresponding "exponents" of these Ludic factors in this nonstandard "Ludic factorization of n", unique for each natural number n >= 1. Permutation pair A302025/A302026 maps between this Ludic factorization and the ordinary prime factorization of n. See also comments and examples in A302032.
