Claim. P. Pollack, Some arithmetic properties of the sum of proper divisors and the sum of prime divisors, Illinois J. Math. 58 (2014), no. 1, 125--147, Theorem 1.11: for all x≥2x\ge2, the number of n≤xn\le x for which s(n)s(n) is prime is O(x/log⁡x)O(x/\log x) (card). So the preimage under ss of the primes, a set of density zero, has density zero, which is the assertion of Problem 955 for that set. The issue is dated Spring 2014; the publisher records online publication on 1 April 2015, so this page carries that date.

Covers. The instance AA = the primes; the general assertion stays open.

Depends on. No page of this wiki.

Acceptance. Refereed: Illinois Journal of Mathematics. The site's commentary credits the result, but the site labels the problem OPEN, so no curator acceptance is listed.
