History

This result is a special case of the Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions, which states that any large set contains aribtrarily long arithmetic progression. (It is a special case because the set of primes is large).

Statement

This states that for any positive integer , there exists a prime arithmetic progression of length , i.e., an arithmetic progression of length all of whose members are prime numbers.
