Extract

Prime number theory is concerned with the distribution of primes in sequences of natural numbers, such as arithmetic progressions or polynomial sequences. An extensive range of such questions is embraced by

Hypothesis H (Schinzel, see [10]. Let f1, …, fgbe distinct irreducible polynomials in Z[x] (with positive leading coefficients) and suppose that f1fghas no fixed prime divisors. Then there exist infinitely many integers n such that each fi (n) (i = 1, …, g) is prime.
