In this talk we will survey the methods Green and Tao developed to study
linear equations in primes, and show how these methods may be employed
to deduce asymptotics for a class of divisor problems.
This class includes,
for instance, correlations
Σn,r ≤ N
d(n) d(n+r) d(n+2r)... d(n+kr)
of the divisor
function along arithmetic progressions of fixed length.
