Abstract

Let F(X)=i=1k(aiX+bi)F(X)= \prod_{i=1}^k(a_iX+b_i) be a polynomial with ai,bia_i, b_i being integers. Suppose the discriminant of FF is non-zero and FF is admissible. Given any natural number NN, let S(F,N)S(F,N) denotes those integers less than or equal to NN such that F(n)F(n) has no prime factors less than or equal to N1/(4k+1).N^{1/(4k+1)}. Let LL be a translation invariant linear equation in 33 variables. Then any AS(F,N)A\subset S(F, N) with δF(N):=AS(F,N)ϵ,F,L1(loglogN)1ϵ\delta_F(N): = \frac{|A|}{|S(F,N)|} \gg_{\epsilon, F, L}\frac{1}{(\log \log N)^{1-\epsilon}} contains a non-trivial solution of LL provided NN is sufficiently large.
