Erdős–Odlyzko–Sárközy conjecture on products of two small primes

Let kk be a positive integer and let aa be an integer coprime to kk. The primes p1p_1 and p2p_2 are required to satisfy p1,p2kp_1,p_2\leq k. Erdős–Odlyzko–Sárközy conjecture. For all sufficiently large kk and aa with (a,k)=1(a,k)=1, there exist primes p1,p2kp_1,p_2\leq k such that

p1p2a(modk).p_1p_2\equiv a\pmod{k}.

This conjecture is stated by Erdős, Odlyzko and Sárközy and is unreachable with current methods because of the parity problem; various relaxations are known.
