Dickson's conjecture on simultaneous prime values of linear polynomials
Dickson's conjecture on simultaneous prime values of linear polynomials
Let and let , where with non-negative integers and . Assume that no integer divides all products simultaneously for every non-negative integer . Dickson's conjecture. There are infinitely many natural numbers such that is prime for every . This is a classical unresolved conjecture in prime-number theory, generalizing several simultaneous-prime-value problems.
