The conjecture about Power free-values of polynomials is: Let $F(X)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients and no repeated roots. For any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a constant $C_{\epsilon,F}$ such that for any integer $n$ $$ |n|^{\deg{(F)}-1-\epsilon} \le C_{\epsilon,F} \operatorname{rad}(F(n))$$
The conjecture implies this polynomial version. For $f(x) , g(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $f(x)$ squarefree,
$$\deg (\operatorname{rad}(f(g(x)))) > \deg(g(x)) (\deg(f(x))-1) \qquad (1)$$
The bound is tight because for Chebyshev polynomials $T_n,U_n$, $T_n(x)^2 - 1 = (x^2-1) U_{n-1}^2(x)$ with $f(x)=x^2-1$.
Is (1) proved for polynomials?
