NUMBER THEORY:
Proof Promises Progress in Prime Progressions

The theorem that Ben Green and Terence Tao set out to prove would have
been impressive enough. Instead, the two
mathematicians wound up with a stunning bre

I don't understand. You can only have an infinite number (or number of
progressions) where the number of numbers in a number is inifinite.
After googling up some references, it seems the Major made a small
misstatement. Green appears to have proven that
What about where N=1?
I don't understand. You can only have an infinite number (or number of
progressions) where the number of numbers in a number is inifinite.
