Abstract:
Theorems by Thue, Pólya, and Mahler show that if a polynomial with integer coefficients $f(x)$ has at least two distinct complex roots, the greatest prime factor of $f(n)$ tends to infinity as $n$ approaches infinity. Consequentially, for every finite set of prime $P$, the intersection of $f(\mathbb{Z})$ and the $S$-unit of $P$ is finite. An extension on $f(\mathbb{Q})$ will be explored, by mimicking the technique used by Pólya, and applying a corollary of Falting’s theorem for quartic binary forms.
