Hardy-field prime recurrence conjecture for several functions

Let kNk\in\mathbb{N} and let a1,,akHa_1,\ldots,a_k\in\mathcal{H} be functions of polynomial growth. Assume that every non-trivial linear combination aa of a1,,aka_1,\ldots,a_k satisfies

limt+a(t)p(t)=+\lim_{t\to+\infty}|a(t)-p(t)|=+\infty

for every p(t)Z[t]p(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t]. Let (X,X,μ,T)(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T) be a measure-preserving system and let AXA\subset X have positive measure. Hardy-field prime recurrence conjecture for several functions. The set

{nN:μ(ATa1(n)ATak(n)A)>0}\left\{n\in\mathbb{N}:\mu\left(A\cap T^{-\lfloor a_1(n)\rfloor}A\cap\dots\cap T^{-\lfloor a_k(n)\rfloor}A\right)>0\right\}

has non-empty intersection with the primes P\mathbb{P}. The source presents this as a further conjecture motivated by known recurrence results along N\mathbb{N}; it remains open in the source.
