e-Perfect Number

A number $n$ is called an $e$-perfect number if $\sigma_e(n)=2n$, where $\sigma_e(n)$ is the Sum of the e-Divisor of $n$. If $m$ is Squarefree, then $\sigma_e(m)=m$. As a result, if $n$ is $e$-perfect and $m$ is Squarefree with $m\perp b$, then $mn$ is $e$-perfect. There are no Odd $e$-perfect numbers.
