Erdős problem 535

Let r≥3r \geq 3, and let fr(N)f_r(N) denote the size of the largest subset of {1,…,N}\{1,\ldots,N\} such that no subset of size rr has the same pairwise greatest common divisor between all elements. Erdős [Er64] proved that f3(N)>Nc/log⁡log⁡Nf_3(N) > N^{c/\log\log N} for some constant c>0c > 0, and conjectured this should also be an upper bound; here we state the conjectural upper bound for all r≥3r \geq 3.
