May 29, 2019 at 23:00 comment added François Brunault @alpoge I think you're right: we need the fact that the statement is uniform in $k$.
May 29, 2019 at 22:53 comment added alpoge [If you were to fix k and take x to infinity the exponential term would die way faster than the log term in the parentheses, unless I’ve misread something, which is why I said careful in the previous comment.]
May 29, 2019 at 22:52 comment added alpoge Careful! Take x = q^{k/\mu_q} and apply Theorem 1.1. The term in parentheses is 1 + O((\log{x})^{-1/2+\eps}). For k >> 1 this will be > 1/2. Also for k >> 1 the thing it’s multiplied by will be > 10. So the left-hand side is > 1. You see that needing k sufficiently large comes from the fact that the exponential in the parentheses has to beat the error term (and in particular the implicit constant). Hope that makes sense!
May 29, 2019 at 22:17 comment added François Brunault @Wojowu For which values of $n$ does this expression tend to infinity? We cannot expect to take $n=2$ for example since this would give infinitely many Fermat primes.
May 29, 2019 at 21:55 comment added Wojowu The statement follows immediately from Theorem 1.1 in the linked paper if you take $q=2$ and $k=n$. You just have to note that the expression in the bracket tends to infinity as $x\to\infty$.
