The abundance and factor-ordering conjecture for spoof odd perfect numbers

Let n=km>1n=km>1 be a spoof odd perfect number, where I(x)=σ(x)/xI(x)=\sigma(x)/x is the abundancy index. Abundance and factor-ordering conjecture. The following conditions hold:

  • I(n)>2I(n)>2, so nn is abundant.
  • If gcd(m,k)=1\gcd(m,k)=1, then
k<m<k.\sqrt{k}<m<k.

These predictions extend the factor-ordering discussion for spoof odd perfect numbers and are consistent with Descartes' example. The source does not provide a proof or a resolution of either assertion.
