Jul 12, 2021 at 7:36 comment added Fedor Petrov we do not actually need $f(n)$ be square free: if $p$ divides $f(n)$ and $p<\sqrt{n}$, then we have something like $\nu_p(n)<3\log_2n<\nu_p(n!)$
Jul 12, 2021 at 2:46 comment added markvs The fact that $f(g(t))=f_1(t)⋯f_m(t)$ with the $f_j$'s pairwise co-prime is true for every $f,g$ and follows from PID.
Jul 12, 2021 at 1:18 comment added markvs The argument is less clear now. What is "large" $X$? What is $\epsilon$ and what is $\gg_\epsilon$? The number $k$ is first defined as the product of some primes $<X$ and then is bound by $\exists$. Why is $g(n)/p> g(n)^{1-\epsilon}$ (what if $p=g(n)$?)?
Jul 12, 2021 at 0:37 comment added Stanley Yao Xiao @MarkSapir the argument ended up being more intricate than I thought, and requires looking at the actual proofs in the paper rather than just the statement of the main theorems. Luckily what they proved is enough to imply the result, without any new insights

Jul 11, 2021 at 23:22 comment added markvs I do not think the result in the paper implies the result you want to prove, at least easily.
Jul 11, 2021 at 23:04 comment added Stanley Yao Xiao @MarkSapir ah yes I agree... but nevertheless the given paper still implies the desired result. I will edit my answer
Jul 11, 2021 at 22:58 comment added markvs "If $n$ is such that whenever $p|f(n)$ we have $p\le n$ then the desired outcome is true." That claim and the rest of the answer are incorrect.
