    Erdős Problem #412: declared status 'open'. Formalized: yes. Let σ1(n)=σ(n)\sigma_1(n)=\sigma(n), the sum of divisors function, and σk(n)=σ(σk1(n))\sigma_k(n)=\sigma(\sigma_{k-1}(n)). Is it true that, for every m,n2m,n\geq 2, there exist some i,ji,j such that σi(m)=σj(n)\sigma_i(m)=\sigma_j(n)? Prize: no. OEIS: A007497, A051572. Tags: iterated functions, number theory.
