We show that one can find infinitely many strings of $m$ consecutive primes each of which has some $q\\in\\mathcal{Q}$ as a primitive root, all lying in an interval of length $O_{\\mathcal{Q}}(\\exp(C'm))$. This is a bounded gaps variant of a theorem of Gupta and Ram Murty. We also prove a result on an elliptic analogue of Artin's conjecture. Let $E/\\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve with an irrational $2$-torsion point. Assume GRH. Then for every $m$, there are infinitely many strings of $m$ consecutive primes $p$ for which $E(\\mathbb{F}_p)$ is cyclic, all lying an interval of length $O_E(\\exp(C'' m))$. If $E$ has CM, then the GRH assumption can be removed. Here $C$, $C'$, and $C''$ are absolute constants.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-27T05:26:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11A07", "11G05" ], "keywords": [ "primitive root", "consecutive primes", "absolute constants", "bounded gaps variant", "natural number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.7186B" } } }
