dc.description.abstractA celebrated and deep result of Green and Tao states that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. In this note, I provide a straightforward argument demonstrating that the primes get arbitrarily close to arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. The argument also applies to “large sets” in the sense of the Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions. The proof is short, completely self-contained, and aims to give a heuristic explanation of why the primes, and other large sets, possess arithmetic structure.
