Conjecture A on the refined abc bound

For coprime positive integers aa and bb, put c=a+bc=a+b and define

γ=γ(abc),\gamma=\gamma(abc),

where γ(n)=pnp\gamma(n)=\prod_{p\mid n}p is the radical of nn. Conjecture A. There exists a real number C1C_1 such that

c<γexp(43logγloglogγ(1+logloglogγ2loglogγ+C1loglogγ)).c<\gamma\exp\left(4\sqrt{\frac{3\log\gamma}{\log\log\gamma}}\left(1+\frac{\log\log\log\gamma}{2\log\log\gamma}+\frac{C_1}{\log\log\gamma}\right)\right).

Furthermore, there exists a real number C2C_2 and infinitely many pairs of coprime positive integers aa and bb for which

c>γexp(43logγloglogγ(1+logloglogγ2loglogγ+C2loglogγ)).c>\gamma\exp\left(4\sqrt{\frac{3\log\gamma}{\log\log\gamma}}\left(1+\frac{\log\log\log\gamma}{2\log\log\gamma}+\frac{C_2}{\log\log\gamma}\right)\right).

This is presented as the most precise refinement of the function C(ϵ)γ(abc)1+ϵC(\epsilon)\gamma(abc)^{1+\epsilon} known to the source, and is attributed there to Conjecture A of Ochoa, de la Bretèche and Granville. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
