Abstract
We study the Diophantine equations obtained by equating a polynomial and the factorial function, and prove the finiteness of integer solutions under certain conditions. For example, we show that there exists only finitely many such that is represented {by} , where is a norm form constructed from the field norm of a field extension . We also deal with the equation , where is the Bhargava factorial. In this paper, we also show that the Oesterl\'e-Masser conjecture implies that for any infinite subset of and for any polynomial of degree or more the equation has only finitely many solutions . For some special infinite subsets of , we can show the finiteness of solutions for the equation unconditionally.
