Abstract
Based on the work of Green, Tao and Ziegler, we give asymptotics when for the number of magic squares with their entries being prime numbers in . For every we give appropriate systems of linear forms (or equivalently basis) describing all magic squares with integer entries and we calculate the complexity of these systems in the Green and Tao sense. We compute the precise asymptotics for the cases (complexity 3) and (complexity 1), and the given algorithm works for (complexity 1). Finally, we show that the asymptotics are exactly the same if we impose that all the entries of the magic squares have to be different.
