Squarefree-value conjecture for polynomial values

Let f(t)Z[t]f(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t] be a separable polynomial such that f(t)a(t)b(t)2f(t)\ne a(t)b(t)^2 and degf1\operatorname{deg} f\geq 1. Let μ\mu denote the Möbius function and let ρf(m)\rho_f(m) denote the number of residue classes modulo mm satisfying f(t)0(modm)f(t)\equiv 0\pmod m. Squarefree-value conjecture.

nxμ2(f(n))=xp2(1ρf(p2)p2)+o(x).\sum_{n\leq x}\mu^2(f(n))=x\prod_{p\geq 2}\left(1-\frac{\rho_f(p^2)}{p^2}\right)+o(x).

This predicts an asymptotic density for squarefree values of a broad class of separable polynomials. The surrounding discussion identifies the result as matching conditional consequences of the abcabc conjecture, but the supplied text does not establish its resolution.
