Let $P(n, k)$ be the largest prime factor of $\binom{n}{k}$.
-/
def P (n k : ℕ) : ℕ := (n.choose k).primeFactors.sup id

/--
There exists $c > 0$ such that $P(n, k) > \min\{n-k+1, k^{1 + c}\}$ for all $0 \le k \le n$.}

theorem erdos_683 : answer(sorry) ↔
(∃ c > 0, ∀ n k : ℕ, 0 < k ∧ k < n → P n k > min (n - k + 1) (k ^ (1 + c))) := by
sorry

/--
Sylvester and Schur [Er34] proved that $P(n, k) > k$ for $k \le n/2$.
-/
@[category research solved, AMS 11]
theorem erdos_683.variant.sylvester_schur :
∀ n k : ℕ, 0 < k ∧ k ≤ n / 2 → P n k > k := by
sorry

/--
Erdos [Er55d] improved this to $P(n, k) \gg k \log k $ for $k \le n/2$.

theorem erdos_683.variant.erdos_log :
∃ C > 0, ∀ n k : ℕ, 0 < k ∧ k ≤ n / 2 → P n k > C * k * Real.log k := by
sorry

/--
Standard heuristics suggest that $P(n, k) > e^{c\sqrt{k}}$ for some constant $c > 0$.

@[category research open, AMS 11]
theorem erdos_683.variant.exp_sqrt :
∃ c > 0, ∀ n k : ℕ, 0 < k ∧ k ≤ n / 2 → P n k > Real.exp (c * Real.sqrt k) := by
sorry
