The nonsquare odd abundant numbers conjecture for {-1,1}-perfect numbers

Let nn be a positive odd integer. Call nn abundant if σ(n)2n\sigma(n) \geq 2n, and call it nonsquare if it is not a perfect square. Nonsquare odd abundant numbers conjecture. Every nonsquare odd abundant number is {1,1}\{-1,1\}-perfect. The paper notes that this holds for every such number checked computationally, while Theorem 3 rules out odd square abundant numbers; the conjecture remains open.
