Abstract

In this paper we show that if AA is a subset of the primes with positive relative density δ\delta, then A+AA+A must have positive upper density C1δeC2(log(1/δ))2/3(loglog(1/δ))1/3C_1\delta e^{-C_2(\log(1/\delta))^{2/3}(\log\log(1/\delta))^{1/3}} in N\mathbb{N}. Our argument applies the techniques developed by Green and Green-Tao used to find arithmetic progressions in the primes, in combination with a result on sums of subsets of the multiplicative subgroup of the integers modulo MM.
