The Dickson–Hardy–Littlewood prime-tuples conjecture

A finite set HNH\subset\mathbb{N} is admissible if, for every prime pp, there is a residue class modulo pp containing no element of HH.

Dickson–Hardy–Littlewood conjecture. If HNH\subset\mathbb{N} is finite and admissible, then there exist infinitely many nNn\in\mathbb{N} such that

n+HP,n+H\subset\mathcal P,

where P\mathcal P is the set of primes. The paper uses this standard prime-tuples conjecture to derive its bounded finite-sums statement in the primes conditionally. It remains unproved in general.
