THE GREEN-TAO THEOREM ON ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS IN THE PRIMES: AN ERGODIC POINT OF VIEW BRYNA KRA Abstract. A long standing and almost folkloric conjecture is that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Until recently, the only progress on this conjecture was due to van der Corput, who showed in 1939 that there are infinitely many triples of primes in arithmetic progression. In an amazing fusion of methods from analytic number theory and ergodic theory, Ben Green and Terence Tao showed that for any positive integer k, there exist infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length k consisting only of prime numbers.
