On établit la conjecture « Möbius et Nilsuites » pour les nilsystèmes de rang 1 et 2. Ce papier est une partie de notre programme, dont le but est une généralisation de la méthode de Hardy-Littlewood en vue d’étudier les systèmes d’équations linéaires dans les nombres premiers.

We prove the “Möbius and Nilsequences Conjecture” for nilsystems of step 1 and 2. This paper forms a part of our program to generalise the Hardy-Littlewood method so as to handle systems of linear equations in primes.
