Conjecture on short intervals containing integers with many distinct prime factors
Let denote the number of distinct prime factors and define
where and . Short-interval prime-factor conjecture. For some , there is a constant such that, for sufficiently large ,
The source presents this as a weaker version sufficient to disprove Erdős Problem #679. Its resolution is not given.
