Prerequisites to understand Green-Tao Theorem? My aim is to understand Green-Tao theorem and all the related works. There is a question about understanding Green-Tao theorem but I seek for more broad references including the theorem and all other works.
 A: Understand Szemeredi's relative theorem, the principle of transference, the norms of gowers and some results of analytical number theory. The W trick is fundamental

there is an extension of this theorem is for the Chen Primes and the prime numbers of the form $x ^ 2 + y^ 2 + 1$. They are the ones I know
