Hyperbolic prime number theorem

We count the number S(x) of quadruples \( {\left( {x_{1} ,x_{2} ,x_{3} ,x_{4} } \right)} \in \mathbb{Z}^{4} \) for which

$ p = x^{2}_{1} + x^{2}_{2} + x^{2}_{3} + x^{2}_{4} \leqslant x $

is a prime number and satisfying the determinant condition: x ₁ x ₄???x ₂ x ₃?=?1. By means of the sieve, one shows easily the upper bound S(x)???x/log x. Under a hypothesis about prime numbers, which is stronger than the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem but is weaker than the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture, we prove that this order is correct, that is S(x)???x/log x.
