On the largest prime factor of quartic polynomial values: the cyclic and dihedral cases

Abstract: Let

P (X) i n m a t h b b Z [X]

be an irreducible, monic, quartic polynomial with cyclic or dihedral Galois group. We prove that there exists a constant

c_{P} > 0

such that for a positive proportion of integers

n

,

P (n)

has a prime factor

g e n^{1 + c_{P}}

.
