Abstract

In a recent work \cite{key-11}, A. Fish proved that if E1E_{1} and E2E_{2} are two subsets of Z\mathbb{Z} of positive upper Banach density, then there exists kZk\in\mathbb{Z} such that kZ(E1E1)(E2E2).k\cdot\mathbb{Z}\subset\left(E_{1}-E_{1}\right)\cdot\left(E_{2}-E_{2}\right). In this article we will show that a similar result is true for the set of primes P\mathbb{P} (which has density 00). We will prove that there exists kNk\in\mathbb{N} such that kN(PP)(PP),k\cdot\mathbb{N}\subset\left(\mathbb{P}-\mathbb{P}\right)\cdot\left(\mathbb{P}-\mathbb{P}\right), where PP={pq:p>qandp,qP}.\mathbb{P}-\mathbb{P}=\left\{ p-q:p>q\,\text{and}\,p,q\in\mathbb{P}\right\} .
