Comments

Dinculescu observes that when k^2 > 1 is a twin rank (i.e., in A002822) then 5 | k (k is divisible by 5), and if k^3 is a twin rank, then 7 | k; cf. A326232 & A326234. It is unknown whether there are other pairs (a, b) such that a | n whenever n^b > 1 is a twin rank. (Of course 2 | b => 5 | a and 3 | b => 7 | a, so we aren't interested in pairs (a, b) which are consequence of this.)
