Abstract

Let E ⊂ ℤ be a set of positive upper density. Suppose that P1,P2,...,Pk ∈ ℤ[X] are polynomials having zero constant terms. We show that the set E ∩ (E -P1(p-1)) ∩ ··· ∩ (E - Pk(p-1)) is non-empty for some prime number p. Furthermore, we prove convergence in L2 of polynomial multiple averages along the primes.
