Title: EGGS, squares and integer points on hyperelliptic curves
Abstract: Erdos, Graham and Selfridge considered, for each positive integer n, the least value of t_n so that the integers n+1, n+2, ..., n+t_n contain a subset the product of whose members with n is a square. An open problem posed by Granville concerns the size of t_n under the assumption of the ABC Conjecture. We discuss recent work, joint with Kyle Pratt and Alexandru Zaharescu, in which we establish some results on the distribution of t_n, including an unconditional resolution of Granville's problem.
