Improved Bounds for Distinct Multiples in Intervals

For $n\ge1$, let $F(n)$ be the least $H$ such that any $H$ consecutive integers contain $n$ pairwise distinct integers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ with $k \mid a_k$ for $1\le k\le n$, and define $h_{\mathbb P}(n)$ analogously for the primes at most $n$. We prove \[ F(n)\le n^{4/3}\exp\!\left(O\!\left(\frac{\log n}{\log\log...
