Hardy-sequence patterns in the primes conjecture

About 18 years old · traced to

Let H\mathcal{H} denote the Hardy field under consideration, let [x][x] be the integer part of xx, and let “the growth assumptions of Theorem A (or Conjecture A)” refer to the hypotheses imposed there on aa. Hardy-sequence patterns in the primes conjecture. If a∈Ha\in\mathcal{H} satisfies the growth assumptions of Theorem A (or Conjecture A), then the prime numbers contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of the form

{m,m+[a(n)],m+2[a(n)],…,m+ℓ[a(n)]}\{m,m+[a(n)],m+2[a(n)],\ldots,m+\ell[a(n)]\}

with the corresponding parameters as in Conjecture A. This is motivated by the role of Szemerédi-type results in establishing arithmetic and polynomial progressions in the primes, but the source gives no resolution.
