Erdős Problem #1201 — Large Prime Divisors in Products of Consecutive Integers

About 1 year old · traced to

For ϵ,η>0\epsilon,\eta>0, let P(n(n+1)⋯(n+k))P\bigl(n(n+1)\cdots(n+k)\bigr) denote the greatest prime divisor of the product. Is it true that there exists k∈Nk\in\mathbb N such that the lower asymptotic density of the set

{n∈N:P(n(n+1)⋯(n+k))>n1−ϵ}\left\{n\in\mathbb N:P\bigl(n(n+1)\cdots(n+k)\bigr)>n^{1-\epsilon}\right\}

is at least 1−η1-\eta? In precise limit form, does there exist kk for every ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and η>0\eta>0 such that

lim inf⁡x→∞#{n<x:P(n(n+1)⋯(n+k))>n1−ϵ}x≥1−η?\liminf_{x\to\infty}\frac{\#\{n<x:P(n(n+1)\cdots(n+k))>n^{1-\epsilon}\}}{x}\ge 1-\eta?
