Square-free values of decomposable forms

Number Theory 2019-08-15 v3

Abstract

In this paper we prove that decomposable forms, or homogeneous polynomials F(x1,,xn)F(x_1, \cdots, x_n) with integer coefficients which split completely into linear factors over C\mathbb{C}, take on infinitely many square-free values subject to simple necessary conditions and degf2n+2\operatorname{deg} f \leq 2n + 2 for all irreducible factors ff of FF. This work generalizes a theorem of Greaves.
