The Green-Tao theorem: an exposition
David Conlon[1], Jacob Fox[2] and Yufei Zhao (1) University of Oxford, UK(2) Stanford University, USA
The celebrated Green-Tao theorem states that the prime numbers contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. We give an exposition of the proof, incorporating several simplifications that have been discovered since the original paper.
Keywords: Green-Tao theorem, primes in arithmetic progression
