The profinite Schinzel hypothesis H over S-integers

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let DD be the ring of SS-integers in a global field, let f1,…,fdf_1,\dots,f_d be pairwise non-associate separable irreducible polynomials over DD, and let f=∏i=1dfif=\prod_{i=1}^d f_i. Assume that no prime ideal p\mathfrak p divides f1(n)⋯fd(n)f_1(n)\cdots f_d(n) for every n∈Dn\in D.

Extended Schinzel hypothesis H. If

f(D^)∩D^∗≠∅,f(\widehat D)\cap\widehat D^*\ne\varnothing,

then the set

f(D)∩P(D)d\mathbf f(D)\cap\mathcal P(D)^d

is infinite.

This is the profinite formulation of the infinitude part of Schinzel’s hypothesis H: the unit-intersection condition expresses the absence of local obstructions. It is open in general and includes simultaneous prime values of several polynomials.
