Abstract

Let f1,,fkR[X]f_1,\dots,f_k \in \mathbb{R}[X] be polynomials of degree at most dd with f1(0)==fk(0)=0f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0. We show that there is an n<xn<x such that fi(n)x1/10.5kd(d1)+o(1)\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{-1/10.5kd(d-1)+o(1)} for all 1ik1\le i\le k. This improves on an earlier result of Maynard, who obtained the same exponent dependency on kk but not on dd.
