Abstract: Let $s(n)$ denote the sum of the proper divisors of the natural number $n$. We show that the number of $nleqx$ such that $s(n)$ is a sum of two squares has order of magnitude $x/sqrtlogx$, which agrees with the count of $nleqx$ which are a sum of two squares. Our result confirms a special case of a conjecture of Erd{H o}s, Granville, Pomerance and Spiro, who in a 1990 paper asserted that if $mathcalAsubsetmathbbN$ has asymptotic density zero (e.g. if $mathcalA$ is the set of $nleqx$ which are a sum of two squares), then $s^{-1}(mathcalA)$ also has asymptotic density zero.
