Abstract

Tao conjectured that every dense subset of Pd\mathcal{P}^d, the dd-tuples of primes, contains constellations of any given shape. This was very recently proved by Cook, Magyar, and Titichetrakun and independently by Tao and Ziegler. Here we give a simple proof using the Green-Tao theorem on linear equations in primes and the Furstenberg-Katznelson multidimensional Szemer\'edi theorem.
