Abstract

We establish asymptotic formulae for the number of $k$-free values of square-free polynomials $F(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})\in \mathbb{Z}[x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n}]$ of degree $d\geqslant 2$ for any $n\geqslant 1$, including when the variables are prime, as long as $k\geqslant (3d+1)/4$. This generalizes a work of Browning.
