Consecutive Piatetski-Shapiro primes conjecture

Let k0k_0 be a positive integer and let c>1c>1 be non-integral. The Piatetski-Shapiro sequence is given by the integer parts [nc][n^c] for positive integers nn. Consecutive Piatetski-Shapiro primes conjecture. There exist infinitely many nn such that

[nc], [(n+1)c], , [(n+k0)c][n^c],\ [(n+1)^c],\ \ldots,\ [(n+k_0)^c]

are all primes. This conjecture predicts arbitrarily long blocks of consecutive values in a Piatetski-Shapiro sequence that are simultaneously prime; the paper's result is motivated by this statement, while the conjecture itself remains open.
