Is there some h(n)h(n)\to \infty such that for all 2i<jn/22\leq i<j\leq n/2 gcd((ni),(nj))h(n)?\textrm{gcd}\left( \binom{n}{i},\binom{n}{j}\right) \geq h(n)?

This was resolved by Bergman [Be11], who proved that for any 2i<jn/22\leq i<j\leq n/2 gcd((ni),(nj))n1/22ii3/2,\textrm{gcd}\left( \binom{n}{i},\binom{n}{j}\right) \gg n^{1/2}\frac{2^i}{i^{3/2}}, where the implied constant is absolute.

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
