Abstract: Let $S$ be a finite set of primes. The $S$-part $[m{]}_S$ of a non-zero integer $m$ is the largest positive divisor of $m$ that is composed of primes from $S$. In 2013, Gross and Vincent proved that if $f(X)$ is a polynomial with integer coefficients and with at least two roots in the complex numbers, then for every integer $x$ at which $f(x)$ is non-zero, we have (*) $[f(x){]}_{S}leqccdot|f(x){|}^d$, where $c$ and $d$ are effectively computable and $d<1$. Their proof uses Baker-type estimates for linear forms in complex logarithms of algebraic numbers. As an easy application of the $p$-adic Thue-Siegel-Roth theorem we show that if $f(X)$ has degree $ngeq2$ and no multiple roots, then an inequality such as (*) holds for all $d>1/n$, provided we do not require effectivity of $c$. Further, we show that such an inequality does not hold anymore with $d=1/n$ and sufficiently small $c$. In addition we prove a density result, giving for every $epsilon>0$ an asymptotic estimate with the right order of magnitude for the number of integers $x$ with absolute value at most $B$ such that $f(x)$ has $S$-part at least $|f(x){|}^{epsilon}$. The result of Gross and Vincent, as well as the other results mentioned above, are generalized to values of binary forms and decomposable forms at integral points. Our main tools are Baker type estimates for linear forms in complex and $p$-adic logarithms, the $p$-adic Subspace Theorem of Schmidt and Schlickewei, and a recent general lattice point counting result of Barroero and Widmer.
