On the Subsequence of Primes Having Prime Subscripts

Abstract:
We explore the subsequence of primes with prime
subscripts, (qn),
and derive its density and estimates for its
counting function. We obtain bounds for the weighted gaps between
elements of the subsequence and show that for every positive integer
m there is an integer arithmetic progression (an+b : n
∈ ℕ) with
at least m of the (qn) satisfying
qn = an+b.
