Squarefree values of polynomials at primes

About 3 years old · traced to

Let f(t)∈Z[t]f(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t] be a separable polynomial of degree deg⁡f≥1\operatorname{deg} f\geq 1. Let μ\mu denote the Möbius function, 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, and let li⁡(x)\operatorname{li}(x) denote the logarithmic integral. Prime-input squarefree-value conjecture.

∑p≤xμ2(f(p))=li⁡(x)∏q≥2(1−ρf(q2)q2)+o(li⁡(x)).\sum_{p\leq x}\mu^2(f(p))=\operatorname{li}(x)\prod_{q\geq 2}\left(1-\frac{\rho_f(q^2)}{q^2}\right)+o(\operatorname{li}(x)).

This is the related conjecture over prime inputs mentioned in the paper. The supplied status evidence describes the quartic case f(t)=t4+2f(t)=t^4+2 as an open problem, so the conjecture remains open in general.
