Abstract: Assuming the validity of Dickson's conjecture, we show that the set $mathcalV$ of values of the Euler's totient function $varphi$ contains arbitrarily large arithmetic progressions with common difference 4. This leads to the question of proving unconditionally that this set $mathcalV$ has a positive upper Banach density.
