The Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). This gives a bijective correspondence between positive integers and integer partitions.
We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)).
Also numbers whose multiset of prime indices has odd length and integer alternating product, where a prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n.
