| Sequences with translates containing many primes Garrison [3], Forman [2], and Abel and Siebert [1] showed that for all positive integers
$k$ and $N$, there exists a positive integer $\lambda$ such that $n^k+\lambda$ is
prime for at least $N$ positive integers $n$. In other words, there exists $\lambda$
such that $n^k+\lambda$ represents at least $N$ primes.
We give a quantitative version of this result. We show that there exists
$\lambda \leq x^k$ such that $n^k+\lambda$, $1\leq n\leq x$, represents at
least $(\frac 1k+o(1)) \pi(x)$ primes, as $x\rightarrow \infty$. We also give some
related results.
