Dickson's conjecture on simultaneous prime values of linear polynomials

From papers

Let kN1k\in\boldsymbol{N}_{\geq 1} and let barf=(fi:i<k)bar f=(f_i:i<k), where fi(x)=aix+bif_i(x)=a_i x+b_i with ai,bia_i,b_i non-negative integers and aigeq1a_igeq 1. Assume that no integer ngeq1ngeq 1 divides all products i<kfi(s)\prod_{i<k}f_i(s) simultaneously for every non-negative integer ss. Dickson's conjecture. There are infinitely many natural numbers mm such that fi(m)f_i(m) is prime for every i<ki<k. This is a classical unresolved conjecture in prime-number theory, generalizing several simultaneous-prime-value problems.
