Jul 7, 2013 at 6:24 comment added The Masked Avenger If I read Igor Rivin's post correctly, then it seems Walter Feit proved for prime powers $g_n$ that they are large enough, and so that if I replace $f_n$ greatest prime factor with $f_n$ greatest prime power factor, this modified statement is a consequence of Feit's Theorem B.
Jul 7, 2013 at 5:14 comment added Igor Rivin The argument does show that the OP's statement holds with $\limsup$ instead of $\lim...$
Jul 7, 2013 at 4:08 comment added The Masked Avenger I thought I could. A possible attack is to show f_n is really large for n prime, and then apply that fact recursively, but I think a proof by contradiction will be easier.

Jul 7, 2013 at 1:48 comment added Uep Can you explain why $f_n$ is greater than $n$th prime for $n$ sufficiently large?
