Piatetski-Shapiro sequences

Abstract: We consider various arithmetic questions for the Piatetski-Shapiro sequences

f l n^{c}

(

n = 1, 2, 3, ...

) with

c > 1

,

c o t i n N

. We exhibit a positive function

h e t a (c)

with the property that the largest prime factor of

f l n^{c}

exceeds

n^{h e t a (c) - e p s}

infinitely often. For

c i n (1, f r a c 14987)

we show that the counting function of natural numbers

n l e x

for which

f l n^{c}

is squarefree satisfies the expected asymptotic formula. For

c i n (1, f r a c 147145)

we show that there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers composed entirely of primes of the form

p = f l n^{c}

.
