Abstract

We find an upper bound for the sum x<n2x1P(n+hi1)1P(n+him+1)wn\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{1}})\cdots\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{m+1}})w_{n}, where (hi1,...,him+1)(h_{i_{1}},...,h_{i_{m+1}}) is any (m+1)(m+1)-tuple of elements in the admissible set H={h1,...,hk}\mathcal{H}=\{h_{1},...,h_{k}\}, m1m\geq 1 and xx is sufficiently large, with the same weights wnw_{n} used in the Maynard's paper "Dense clusters of primes in subsets". The estimate will be uniform over positive integer kk with m+1k(logx)1/5m+1\leq k\leq (\log x)^{1/5} and on admissible set H\mathcal{H} with 0h1<...<hkx0\leq h_{1}<...<h_{k}\leq x. The upper bound will depend on an integral of a smooth function and on the singular series of H\mathcal{H}, which naturally arises in this context.
