Arithmetic Progressions in Squarefull Numbers

Number Theory 2023-02-08 v1

Abstract

We answer a number of questions of Erd\H{o}s on the existence of arithmetic progressions in kk-full numbers (i.e. integers with the property that every prime divisor necessarily occurs to at least the kk-th power). Further, we deduce a variety of arithmetic constraints upon such progressions, under the assumption of the abcabc-conjecture of Masser and Oesterl\'e.
