Schinzel's hypothesis H

Statement

Suppose  are all irreducible polynomials with integer coefficients and with positive leading coefficient, such that the product  does not have any fixed divisors, i.e., it cannot be expressed as a proper multiple of an integer-valued polynomial. Schinzel's hypothesis H states that there are infinitely many natural numbers  satisfying the condition that  are all simultaneously prime.

Green-Tao theorem proved The theorem states that the sequence of primes contains arithmetic progressions of arbitrary length. The Green-Tao theorem can be viewed as a corollary of Schinzel's hypothesis H if we view it as a collection of statements, one about the existence of arithmetic progressions of a specific length. Each such statement is substantially weaker than what we'd get from Schinzel's hypothesis H (which not only guarantees the existence of such arithmetic progressions, but also allows us to choose a common difference for the arithmetic progression that satisfies some divisibility conditions). The dependence is via Dickson's conjecture.
