Abstract

Let R\mathcal{R} be a finite set of integers satisfying appropriate local conditions. We show the existence of long clusters of primes pp in bounded length intervals with pbp-b squarefree for all bRb \in \mathcal{R}. Moreover, we can enforce that the primes pp in our cluster satisfy any one of the following conditions: (1) pp lies in a short interval [N,N+N712+ϵ][N, N+N^{\frac{7}{12}+\epsilon}], (2) pp belongs to a given inhomogeneous Beatty sequence, (3) with c(89,1)c \in (\frac{8}{9},1) fixed, pcp^c lies in a prescribed interval mod 11 of length p1+c+ϵp^{-1+c+\epsilon}.
