Abstract
We study arithmetic progressions in primes with common differences as small as possible. Tao and Ziegler showed that, for any and large, there exist non-trivial -term arithmetic progressions in (any positive density subset of) the primes up to with common difference , for an unspecified constant . In this work we obtain this statement with the precise value . This is achieved by proving a relative version of Szemer\'{e}di's theorem for narrow progressions requiring simpler pseudorandomness hypotheses in the spirit of recent work of Conlon, Fox, and Zhao.
