Erdős–Graham–Granville–Selfridge conjecture on integral points on hyperelliptic curves

From papers

Let tnt_n denote the quantity associated with the hyperelliptic equation in the paper, and let c(0,1)c\in(0,1) be fixed. Assume that nn is a non-square integer sufficiently large in terms of cc.

Erdős–Graham–Granville–Selfridge conjecture. One has

tn(logn)1c.t_n\geq (\log n)^{1-c}.

This conjecture would strengthen the available lower bound for tnt_n beyond the case where the associated hyperelliptic polynomial has even degree. It is motivated by the expectation that the bound ntnO(tn)n\ll t_n^{O(t_n)} should also hold when the relevant number of factors is odd, and remains open in the stated generality.
