Polynomial configurations in dense subsets of the prime lattice

Abstract

We provide a multidimensional extension of previous results on the existence of polynomial progressions in dense subsets of the primes. Let AA be a subset of the prime lattice - the d-fold direct product of the primes - of positive relative upper density. We show that A contains all polynomial configurations of the form x+P0(y)v0,,x+Pl(y)vlx+P_0(y)v_0,\ldots, x+P_l(y)v_l, for some xx in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d and yy in N\mathbb{N}, which satisfy a certain non-degeneracy condition. We also obtain quantitative bounds on the size of such polynomial configuration, if AA is a subset of the first NN positive integers.
