Schinzel's hypothesis H

Meanings

1. A famous open problem in mathematics, the hypothesis stating that, for every finite collection f_1,f_2,…,f_k of non-constant irreducible polynomials over the integers with positive leading coefficients, one of the following conditions holds: (i) there are infinitely many positive integers n such that all of f_1(n),f_2(n),…,f_k(n) are simultaneously prime numbers, or (ii) there is an integer m>1 (called a fixed divisor) which always divides the product f_1(n)f_2(n)⋯f_k(n).
