We establish the existence of infinitely many$polynomial$progressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomials$P$_{1}, …,$P$_{$k$}∈$Z$[$m$] in one unknown$m$with$P$_{1}(0) = … =$P$_{$k$}(0) = 0, and given any$ε$> 0, we show that there are infinitely many integers$x$and$m$, with $1 \leqslant m \leqslant x^\varepsilon$ , such that$x$+$P$_{1}($m$), …,$x$+$P$_{$k$}($m$) are simultaneously prime. The arguments are based on those in [18], which treated the linear case$P$_{$j$}= ($j$− 1)$m$and$ε$= 1; the main new features are a localization of the shift parameters (and the attendant Gowers norm objects) to both coarse and fine scales, the use of PET induction to linearize the polynomial averaging, and some elementary estimates for the number of points over finite fields in certain algebraic varieties.

We consider singular integral operators of the form (a)$Z$_{1}L^{−1}Z_{2}, (b)$Z$_{1}Z_{2}L^{−1}, and (c)$L$^{−1}Z_{1}Z_{2}, where$Z$_{1}and$Z$_{2}are nonzero right-invariant vector fields, and$L$is the$L$^{2}-closure of a canonical Laplacian. The operators (a) are shown to be bounded on$L$^{p}for all$p$∈(1, ∞) and of weak type (1, 1), whereas all of the operators in (b) and (c) are not of weak type ($p, p$) for any$p$∈[1, ∞).
