Polynomials and Primes in Generalized Arithmetic Progressions (Revised Version)

We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The prime variant can be interpreted as a multi-dimensional, polynomial extension of Linnik's Theorem. This version is a revision of the published version. Most notably, the properness hypotheses have been removed from Theorems 2 and 3, and the numerology in Theorem 2 has been improved.
