Abstract
By Maynard's theorem and the subsequent improvements by the Polymath Project, there exists a positive integer such that there are infinitely many primes such that is also prime. Let with . We use the transference argument of Tao and Ziegler to prove there exist positive integers and such that and are all prime. Our work is inspired by Pintz, who proved a similar result for the special case of arithmetic progressions.
