Abstract

We study the prime numbers that lie in Beatty sequences of the form αn+β\lfloor \alpha n + \beta \rfloor and have prescribed algebraic splitting conditions. We prove that the density of primes in both a fixed Beatty sequence and a Chebotarev class of some Galois extension is precisely the product of the densities α1CG\alpha^{-1}\cdot\frac{|C|}{|G|}. Moreover, we show that the primes in the intersection of these sets satisfy a Bombieri--Vinogradov type theorem. This allows us to prove the existence of bounded gaps for such primes. As a final application, we prove a common generalization of the aforementioned bounded gaps result and the Green--Tao theorem.
