COMMENTS

Numbers n such that 2^sigma(n) - 1 is a Mersenne primes are given in A253849.

Sequence of corresponding values of sigma(n) are given in A253850 and each term of this sequence must be a prime from the sequence of Mersenne exponents (A000043).

If a(6) exists, it must be bigger than A000668(43) = 2^30402457-1.

EXAMPLE

Mersenne prime 2147483647 is in the sequence because there are two numbers n (16 and 25) with 2^sigma(n) - 1 = 2^31 - 1 = 2147483647.
