Bounded-height record-setter asymptotic conjecture for the function z

At least 24 years old · documented by

Let C>1C>1 be fixed, and let n1<n2<⋯n_1<n_2<\cdots be an increasing sequence of positive integers such that h(ni)≤Ch(n_i)\leq C for all ii and

lim⁡i→∞τ(ni)=∞.\lim_{i\rightarrow\infty}\tau(n_i)=\infty.

Bounded-height asymptotic conjecture. Then

z(ni)=o(log⁡τ(ni)).z(n_i)=o(\log\tau(n_i)).

This concerns the growth of the arithmetic function zz along sequences whose associated height hh remains bounded while the divisor-counting function τ\tau tends to infinity. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
