On the number of distinct prime factors of $nj+a^hk$

arXiv:0907.1940

Abstract

Let $ω(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. Then for any given $K\geq 2$, small $ε>0$ and sufficiently large (only depending on $K$ and $ε$) $x$, there exist at least $x^{1-ε}$ integers $n\in[x,(1+K^{-1})x]$ such that $ω(nj\pm a^hk)\geq(\log\log\log x)^{{1/3}-ε}$ for all $2\leq a\leq K$, $1\leq j,k\leq K$ and $0\leq h\leq K\log x$.

This is a very preliminary draft, and maybe contains some mistakes
