Abstract

Consider a translation-invariant system of linear equations Vx=0V x = 0 of complexity one, where VV is an integer r×tr \times t matrix. We show that if AA is a subset of the primes up to NN of density at least C(loglogN)1/25tC(\log\log N)^{-1/25t}, there exists a solution xAtx \in A^t to Vx=0V x = 0 with distinct coordinates. This extends a quantitative result of Helfgott and de Roton for three-term arithmetic progressions, while the qualitative result is known to hold for all systems of equations of finite complexity by the work of Green and Tao.
