N. J. A. Sloane

Coefficients of the cusp form of weight 12 for the full modular group.
It is conjectured that tau(n) is never zero (this has been verified for n < 816212624008487344127999, see the Derickx, van Hoeij, Zeng reference).
M. J. Hopkins mentions that the only known primes p for which tau(p) == 1 (mod p) are 11, 23 and 691, that it is an open problem to decide if there are infinitely many such p and that no others are known below 35000. Simon Plouffe has now searched up to tau(314747) and found no other examples. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 25 2007
Number 1 of the 74 eta-quotients listed in Table I of Martin (1996).
With Dedekind's eta function and the discriminant Delta one has eta(z)^24 = Delta(z)/(2*Pi)^12 = Sum_{m >= 1} tau(m)*q^m, with q = exp(2*Pi*i*z), and z in the complex upper half plane, where i is the imaginary unit. Delta is the eigenfunction of the Hecke operator T_n (n >= 1) with eigenvalue tau(n): T_n Delta = tau(n) Delta. From this the formula for tau(m)*tau(n) given below in the formula section follows. See, e.g., the Koecher-Krieg reference, Lemma and Satz, p. 212. Or the Apostol reference, eq. (3) on p. 114 and the first part of section 6.13 on p. 131. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 26 2016
For the functional equation satisfied by the Dirichlet series F(s), Re(s) > 7, of a(n) see the Hardy reference, p. 173, (10.9.4). It is (2*Pi)^(-s) * Gamma(s) * F(s) = (2*Pi)^(s-12) * Gamma(12-s) * F(12-s). This is attributed to J. R. Wilton, 1929, on p. 185. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 08 2017
Conjecture: |a(n)| with n > 1 can never be a perfect power. This has been verified for n up to 10^6. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 18 2024
Conjecture: The numbers |a(n)| (n = 1,2,3,...) are distinct. This has been verified for the first 10^6 terms. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 21 2024
Conjecture: |a(n)| > 2*n^4 for all n > 2. This has been verified for n = 3..10^6. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 25 2024
Conjecture: a(m)^2 + a(n)^2 can never be a perfect power. This implies Lehmer's conjecture that a(n) is never zero. We have verified that there is no perfect power among a(m)^2 + a(n)^2 with m,n <= 1000 . - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 28 2024
Conjecture: The equation |a(m)a(n)| = x^k with m < n, k > 1 and x >= 0 has no solution. This has been verified for m < n <= 5000. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 29 2024

35328 = (-24)*(-1472) = a(2)*a(4) = a(2*4) + 2^11*a(2*4/4) = 84480 + 2048*(-24) = 35328. See a comment on T_n Delta = tau(n) Delta above. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 21 2016

G.f.: x * Product_{k>=1} (1 - x^k)^24 = x*A(x)^8, with the g.f. of A010816.
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / t) = (t/i)^12 f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t). - Michael Somos, Jul 04 2011
abs(a(n)) = O(n^(11/2 + epsilon)), abs(a(p)) <= 2 p^(11/2) if p is prime. These were conjectured by Ramanujan and proved by Deligne.
Zagier says: The proof of these formulas, if written out from scratch, has been estimated at 2000 pages; in his book Manin cites this as a probable record for the ratio: "length of proof:length of statement" in the whole of mathematics.
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = u*w * (u + 48*v + 4096*w) - v^3. - Michael Somos, Jul 19 2004

a(n) = tau(n) (with tau(0) = 0): tau(m)*tau(n) = Sum_{d| gcd(m,n)} d^11*tau(m*n/d^2), for positive integers m and n. If gcd(m,n) = 1 this gives the multiplicativity of tau. See a comment above with the Koecher-Krieg reference, p. 212, eq. (5). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2016
Dirichlet series as product: Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)/n^s = Product_{n >= 1} 1/(1 - a(prime(n))/prime(n)^s  + prime(n)^(11-2*s)). See the Mordell link, eq. (2). - Wolfdieter Lang, May 06 2016. See also Hardy, p. 164, eqs. (10.3.1) and (10.3.8). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 27 2017
a(n) is multiplicative with a(prime(n)^k) = sqrt(prime(n)^(11))^k*S(k, a(n) / sqrt(prime(n)^(11))), with the Chebyshev S polynomials (A049310), for n >= 1 and k >= 2, and A076847(n) = a(prime(n)). See A076847 for alpha multiplicativity and examples. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 17 2016. See also Hardy, p. 164, eq. (10.3.6) rewritten in terms of S. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 27 2017
G.f. eta(z)^24 (with q = exp(2*Pi*i*z)) also (E_4(q)^3 - E_6(q)^2) / 1728. See the Hardy reference, p. 166, eq. (10.5.3), with Q = E_4 and R = E_6, given in A004009 and A013973, respectively. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 30 2017

Euler Transform of [-24, -24, -24, -24, ...]. - Simon Plouffe, Jun 21 2018
a(n) = n^4*sigma(n)-24*Sum_{k=1..n-1} (35*k^4-52*k^3*n+18*k^2*n^2)*sigma(k)*sigma(n-k). [See Douglas Niebur link]. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 22 2025

Coons and Borwein: "We give a new proof of Fatou's theorem: if an algebraic function has a power series expansion with bounded integer coefficients, then it must be a rational function. This result is applied to show that for any non-trivial completely multiplicative function from N to {-1,1}, the series sum_{n=1..infinity} f(n)z^n is transcendental over {Z}[z]; in particular, sum_{n=1..infinity} lambda(n)z^n is transcendental, where lambda is Liouville's function. The transcendence of sum_{n=1..infinity} mu(n)z^n is also proved." - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 11 2008
Coons proves that a(n) is not k-automatic for any k > 2. - Jonathan Vos Post, Oct 22 2008
The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that for every fixed epsilon > 0, lim_{n -> infinity} (a(1) + a(2) + ... + a(n))/n^(1/2 + epsilon) = 0 (Borwein et al., theorem 1.2). - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Oct 08 2013

			a(4) = 1 because since bigomega(4) = 2 (the prime divisor 2 is counted twice), then (-1)^2 = 1.
a(5) = -1 because 5 is prime and therefore bigomega(5) = 1 and (-1)^1 = -1.

Sequence A075888 and the above sequence are fitting together.
First 2 entries of this sequence have to be taken out.
In some cases two three or more sequenced entries of this sequence have to be added together to get the next entry of A075888.
Example: Sequences begin with 1, 3, 2, 5, 3, 7, 4, 9 (4 + 9 = 13, the next entry in A075888).
But it works out well up to primes around 50000 (haven't tested higher ones).
As A075888 gives a very regular graph. There seems to be a regularity in the primes. (End)

Equivalently, number of Abelian groups with n conjugacy classes. - Michael Somos, Aug 10 2010
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3*3 and 375 = 3*5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).
Also number of rings with n elements that are the direct product of fields; these are the commutative rings with n elements having no nilpotents; likewise the commutative rings where for every element x there is a k > 0 such that x^(k+1) = x. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 20 2006
Range is A033637.
a(n) = 1 if and only if n is from A005117 (squarefree numbers). See the Ahmed Fares comment there, and the formula for n>=2 below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 09 2012
Also, from a theorem of Molnár (see [Molnár]), the number of (non-isomorphic) abelian groups of order 2*n + 1 is equal to the number of non-congruent lattice Z-tilings of R^n by crosses, where a "cross" is a unit cube in R^n for which at each facet is attached another unit cube (Z, R are the integers and reals, respectively). (Cf. [Horak].) - L. Edson Jeffery, Nov 29 2012
Zeta(k*s) is the Dirichlet generating function of the characteristic function of numbers which are k-th powers (k=1 in A000012, k=2 in A010052, k=3 in A010057, see arXiv:1106.4038 Section 3.1). The infinite product over k (here) is the number of representations n=product_i (b_i)^(e_i) where all exponents e_i are distinct and >=1. Examples: a(n=4)=2: 4^1 = 2^2. a(n=8)=3: 8^1 = 2^1*2^2 = 2^3. a(n=9)=2: 9^1 = 3^2. a(n=12)=2: 12^1 = 3*2^2. a(n=16)=5: 16^1 = 2*2^3 = 4^2 = 2^2*4^1 = 2^4. If the e_i are the set {1,2} we get A046951, the number of representations as a product of a number and a square. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 05 2016
See A060689 for the number of non-abelian groups of order n. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 24 2017
Kendall & Rankin prove that the density of {n: a(n) = m} exists for each m. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 14 2024

			a(1) = 1 since the trivial group {e} is the only group of order 1, and it is Abelian; alternatively, since the only factorization of 1 into prime powers is the empty product.
a(p) = 1 for any prime p, since the only factorization into prime powers is p = p^1, and (in view of Lagrange's theorem) there is only one group of prime order p; it is isomorphic to (Z/pZ,+) and thus Abelian.
From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 22 2011: (Start)
a(8) = 3 because 8 = 2^3, hence a(8) = pa(3) = A000041(3) = 3 from the partitions (3), (2, 1) and (1, 1, 1), leading to the 3 factorizations of 8: 8, 4*2 and 2*2*2.
a(36) = 4 because 36 = 2^2*3^2, hence a(36) = pa(2)*pa(2) = 4 from the partitions (2) and (1, 1), leading to the 4 factorizations of 36: 2^2*3^2, 2^2*3^1*3^1, 2^1*2^1*3^2 and 2^1*2^1*3^1*3^1.
