Square-free values of polynomials on average
Abstract
The number of square-free integers in consecutive values of any polynomial is conjectured to be , where the constant depends only on the polynomial . This has been proven for degrees less or equal to 3. Granville was able to show conditionally on the -conjecture that this conjecture is true for polynomials of arbitrarily large degrees. In 2013 Shparlinski proved that this conjecture holds on average over all polynomials of a fixed naive height, which was improved by Browning and Shparlinski in 2023. In this paper, we improve the dependence between and the height of the polynomial. We achieve this via adapting a method introduced in a 2022 paper by Browning, Sofos, and Ter\"av\"ainen on the Bateman-Horn conjecture, the polynomial Chowla conjecture, and the Hasse principle on average.
