Schinzel's Hypothesis H
Definitions and mathematical statement
Let $f_1,\ldots,f_r\in{\mathbb{Z}}[x]$ be nonconstant irreducible polynomials with positive leading coefficients. The local admissibility condition is \[ \forall p\text{ prime}\ \exists n\in{\mathbb{Z}}:\quad p\nmid\prod_{i=1}^r f_i(n). \] The proposed conclusion is that $\{n\ge1:f_i(n)\text{ is prime for every }i\}$ is infinite. Irreducibility is over ${\mathbb{Q}}$ for primitive integer polynomials; local admissibility excludes fixed prime divisors. No asymptotic frequency is included in this qualitative assertion.Formulation and concept references: [S1].
Short English statement
If irreducible integer polynomials have no fixed local obstruction, must they simultaneously take prime values infinitely often?Sources
