Title: On the Largest Prime Factor of n!+f(n) and generalizations


Abstract: For any positive integer n, let P(n) be the largest prime factor of n. I will talk of some improvements and generalizations of results of P.~Erdos and C.~Stewart on P(n!+1). In particular, Florian Luca and Igor Shparlinski have proved that $\limsup_{n \to \infty}P(n!+1)/n \ge 2.5$, which improves the previous bound $\limsup_{n \to \infty} P(n!+1)/n >2$.
