Primes in irrational Beatty sequences

Let α>0\alpha>0 be an irrational number and let β\beta be a real number. The expression \floorαp+β\floor{\alpha p+\beta} denotes the largest integer not exceeding αp+β\alpha p+\beta. Primes in irrational Beatty sequences conjecture. There exist infinitely many primes pp such that \floorαp+β\floor{\alpha p+\beta} is also prime. This is motivated by the binary Goldbach and twin primes conjectures and concerns simultaneous primality along an irrational Beatty sequence. The supplied source does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
