Abstract

For an irreducible polynomial f ∈ Z[x] of degree d ≥ 2, Cilleruelo conjectured that the least common multiple of the values of the polynomial at the first N integers satisfies log lcm(f(1),..., f(N)) ~ (d - 1)N log N as N → ∞. This is only known for degree d = 2. We give a lower bound for all degrees d ≥ 2 which is consistent with the conjecture: log lcm(f(1),..., f(N)) » N log N.
