On the greatest prime factor of n 2 +1
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 32 (1982) no. 4, pp. 1-11

There exist infinitely many integers n such that the greatest prime factor of n 2 +1 is at least n 6/5 . The proof is a combination of Hooley’s method – for reducing the problem to the evaluation of Kloosterman sums – and the majorization of Kloosterman sums on average due to the authors.

Il existe une infinité d’entiers n tels que le plus grand facteur premier de n 2 +1 soit au moins n 6/5 . La démonstration de ce résultat combine la méthode de Hooley – pour ramener le problème à l’évaluation de sommes de Kloosterman – et la majoration de sommes de Kloosterman en moyenne obtenue par les auteurs.
