Squarefree quartics and power-free polynomial values

Proves the squarefree-values conjecture for irreducible integer quartics with no fixed prime-square divisor: squarefree values on positive integers have the predicted positive Euler-product density. More generally, establishes the (d−2)(d-2)-power-free density for irreducible integer polynomials of degrees four through eight under the necessary local condition; together with Browning's higher-degree theorem, this covers every d ≥ 4.
