Distribution of primes (11N05) Primes represented by polynomials; other multiplicative structures of polynomial values (11N32) Sieves (11N35)

Abstract: Let $K=mathbbQ(omega)$ with $omega$ the root of a degree $n$ monic irreducible polynomial $finmathbbZ[X]$. We show the degree $n$ polynomial $N(su{m}_{i=1}^{n-k}{x}_{i}omeg{a}^{i-1})$ in $n-k$ variables formed by setting the final $k$ coefficients to 0 takes the expected asymptotic number of prime values if $nge4k$. In the special case $K=mathbbQ(sqrt[n]heta)$, we show $N(su{m}_{i=1}^{n-k}{x}_{i}sqrt[n]het{a}^{i-1})$ takes infinitely many prime values provided $nge22k/7$. Our proof relies on using suitable `Type I' and `Type II' estimates in Harman's sieve, which are established in a similar overall manner to the previous work of Friedlander and Iwaniec on prime values of $X^2+Y^4$ and of Heath-Brown on $X^3+2Y^3$. Our proof ultimately relies on employing explicit elementary estimates from the geometry of numbers and algebraic geometry to control the number of highly skewed lattices appearing in our final estimates.
