Linear equations in primes

Extract
§1. Introduction. The literature on solving a system of linear equations in primes is quite limited, although the multi-dimensional Hardy-Littlewood method certainly provides an approach to this problem. The Goldbach- Vinogradov theorem and van der Corput's proof of the existence of infinitely many three term arithmetic progressions in primes are two particular results in the special case of only one equation. Recently Liu and Tsang [4] studied this case in full generality and obtained a result with excellent uniformity in the coefficients. Almost no other general result has appeared so far, due probably to the fact that such a theorem is clumsy to state.
