Changes in digits of primes

Erdős proved that there are infinitely many weakly prime numbers (also called (digitally) delicate primes),
i.e., prime numbers such that changing any single one of the digits, in a given base, with any other digit
always results in a composite number. Tao proved that weakly prime numbers constitute a positive
proportion of all prime numbers. In this talk, we are going to discuss further quantitative refinements
on the distribution of weakly prime numbers.
