Abstract

Let k1k\geq1 be a fixed integer, and PN\mathcal P_N be the set of primes no more than NN. We prove that if a set APN\mathcal A\subset\mathcal P_N contains no patterns p1,p1+(p21)kp_1,p_1+(p_2-1)^k, where p1,p2p_1,p_2 are prime numbers, then APN(loglogN)14k3+23k2. \frac{|\mathcal A|}{|\mathcal P_N|}\ll(\log\log N)^{-\frac{1}{4k^3+23k^2}}.
