Schinzel's bound on the number of irreducible factors of Kf

About 16 years old · traced to

Let ff be the polynomial considered in the source, let KfKf denote its associated polynomial vocabulary description, let Ω1(f)\Omega_1(f) be the number of irreducible factors of KfKf over Q\mathbb{Q}, counted with multiplicities, and let ∥f∥2\lVert f\rVert_2 be the norm used in the source. Schinzel's conjecture. There exists a function ψ\psi such that

Ω1(f)≤ψ(∥f∥2).\Omega_1(f)\leq\psi(\lVert f\rVert_2).

The conjecture proposes a bound on the number of irreducible factors in terms of the size of ff; the supplied context does not establish whether this bound has been proved or disproved.
