Dec 4, 2015 at 8:08 comment added M. Farrokhi D. G. $C_4\times C_2$ is such a group. It seems $1$, $C_2$ and $C_4\times C_2$ are the only abelian groups with the mentioned property.

A supplementary question: are there abelian groups other than the trivial group and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ with this property?

Dec 4, 2015 at 5:48 comment added Gerry Myerson Numbers $n$ such that $\sigma(n) + \tau(n) = 2n$ are tabulated at oeis.org/A083874 up to the 24th such $n$, which is 91707741184.
Dec 4, 2015 at 4:46 comment added M. Farrokhi D. G. @GerryMyerson, Yes, of course!
Dec 4, 2015 at 4:35 comment added Gerry Myerson @M.FarrokhiD.G., 130 is not of the form $2^kp$, $p$ prime.
Dec 4, 2015 at 4:34 comment added M. Farrokhi D. G. A better question, in my opinion, is that whether there are infinitely many of such groups?
Dec 4, 2015 at 4:33 comment added M. Farrokhi D. G. A dihedral group $D_{2n}$ has $\tau(n)+\sigma(n)$ subgroups. Finding those numbers $n$ satisfying the equation $\tau(n)+\sigma(n)=2n$ is itself a difficult problem. The values of $n\leq 10^7$ for which the above identity holds are $1$, $3$, $14$, $52$, $130$, $184$, $656$, $8648$, $12008$, $34688$ and $2118656$ among which $14$, $52$, $130$, $184$, $656$, $34688$ and $2118656$ are of the form $2^kp$ for some odd prime $p$.
Dec 4, 2015 at 4:25 comment added Joachim Grieg Thanks! By looking to oeis.org/A018216, I found yet another example: a group of order 28.
Dec 4, 2015 at 3:58 comment added Yoav Kallus Reminds me of this recent question: mathoverflow.net/questions/224636/…. Remeber: two is a coincidence; it takes three to make a trend.

Dec 4, 2015 at 3:46 comment added Joachim Grieg Yes! I found only few finite groups with this property: the trivial group, $\mathbb{Z}_2$, $S_3$, ... and so on.
Dec 4, 2015 at 3:39 comment added Qiaochu Yuan Any particular reason you want these two numbers to be the same?
