COMMENTS
There cannot be two consecutive numbers with the same odd number of divisors as both cannot be squares.
These numbers have the property that a(n) * (a(n) + 1) has 4*n^2 divisors. - David A. Corneth, Jun 24 2016
Conjecture: if a term k is even, the highest p-adic order of k (the maximum may be attained by several p's) occurs at p=2 and the highest p-adic order of k+1 occurs at p=3. If a term k is odd, the highest p-adic order of k occurs at p=3 and the highest p-adic order of k+1 occurs at p=2. - Chai Wah Wu, Mar 12 2019

a(51) = 34210814718574592, a(55) = 2481402804069375, a(57) = 394311388855795712. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Nov 06 2023 - Nov 08 2023

FORMULA
a(n) <= A215199(n-1) for n > 1. Conjecture: if p is prime, then a(p) = A215199(p-1). This conjecture is true if the conjecture in A215199 is true. The b-file of A215199 thus shows that a(p) = A215199(p-1) for prime p < 1279. - Chai Wah Wu, Mar 12 2019
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 104 as tau(104) = tau(105) = 8.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := (For[k=1, ! (DivisorSigma[0, k] == 2*n && DivisorSigma[0, k+1] == 2*n), k++]; k); Array[a, 10] (* Giovanni Resta, Jun 24 2016 *)
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = my(k=1); while(numdiv(k)!=2*n || numdiv(k+1)!=2*n, k++); k \\ Felix Fröhlich, Jun 24 2016
