A higher-dimensional Siegel-Walfisz theorem
Abstract
The Green-Tao-Ziegler theorem provides asymptotics for the number of prime tuples of the form when ranges among the integer vectors of a convex body and is a system of affine-linear forms whose linear coefficients remain bounded (in terms of ). In the case, the Siegel-Walfisz theorem shows that the asymptotic still holds when the coefficients vary like a power of . We prove a higher-dimensional (i.e. ) version of this fact. We provide natural examples where our theorem goes beyond the one of Green and Tao, such as the count of arithmetic of progressions of step times a prime in the primes up to . We also apply our theorem to the determination of asymptotics for the number of linear patterns in a dense subset of the primes, namely the primes for which is squarefree. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such result in dense subsets of primes save for congruence classes.
