Abstract

According to a 1904 conjecture of Dickson [2] unless prevented by congruence conditions, any finite collection of linear forms in $\Z[x]$ with positive leading coefficients infinitely often simultaneously represent primes. For the forms $x,x+2$ this includes the conjectured infinitude of prime-pairs.
