Specific case of the prime tuplets conjecture

Fix a constant bb and integers r1,r2,,rblogxr_1,r_2,\ldots,r_\ell\leqslant b\log x. For a prime pp, let w(p)w(p) be the number of distinct solutions qmodpq\bmod p of

j=1(qrj+1)0(modp).\prod_{j=1}^{\ell}(qr_j+1)\equiv 0\pmod p.

Specific case of prime tuplets conjecture. The number of integers qq with xq<2xx\leqslant q<2x for which every qrj+1qr_j+1 is prime satisfies

#{q:xq<2x, each qrj+1 prime}=(1+ob,(1))x(logx)p1w(p)/p(11/p),\#\{q:x\leqslant q<2x,\ \text{each }qr_j+1\text{ prime}\}=(1+o_{b,\ell}(1))\frac{x}{(\log x)^\ell}\prod_p\frac{1-w(p)/p}{(1-1/p)^\ell},

where the product is over all primes. This is presented as a special case of the Bateman–Horn conjecture in a precise quantitative form and is used as an input for the paper's asymptotic arguments; its resolution is not stated in the supplied text.
