The squarefree-value conjecture for Drinfeld module sequences

Let AA be the polynomial ring in the paper, let ϕ\phi be the given Drinfeld module, and let aAa\in A be the fixed base. A polynomial has no square factors when it is squarefree, and having a non-zero derivative at θ\theta means that its derivative does not vanish at θ\theta. Squarefree-value conjecture. There exist infinitely many bab\in a such that

ϕb(a)a\frac{\phi_b(a)}{a}

has no square factors and has a non-zero derivative at θ\theta. The conjecture is introduced as an assumption intended to establish the infinitude of non-ϕ\phi-Wieferich primes; the supplied text gives no resolution.
