We establish the existence of infinitely manypolynomialprogressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomialsP1, …,Pk∈Z[m] in one unknownmwithP1(0) = … =Pk(0) = 0, and given anyε> 0, we show that there are infinitely many integersxandm, with, such thatx+P1(m), …,x+Pk(m) are simultaneously prime. The arguments are based on those in [18], which treated the linear casePj= (j− 1)mandε= 1; the main new features are a localization of the shift parameters (and the attendant Gowers norm objects) to both coarse and fine scales, the use of PET induction to linearize the polynomial averaging, and some elementary estimates for the number of points over finite fields in certain algebraic varieties.
