Abstract
Let be a natural number, and let be a set containing at least primes. We show that one can find infinitely many strings of consecutive primes each of which has some as a primitive root, all lying in an interval of length . 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 be an elliptic curve with an irrational -torsion point. Assume GRH. Then for every , there are infinitely many strings of consecutive primes for which is cyclic, all lying an interval of length . If has CM, then the GRH assumption can be removed. Here , , and are absolute constants.
