"Artin's conjecture on primitive roots and function field analogues"
Recall Artin's primitive root conjecture, which states that if a is not -1 or a square then the reduction of a modulo p generates the multiplicative group of the integers modulo p for infinitely many primes p. We will examine the similarities and differences between Artin's conjecture and some natural analogues for elliptic curves and function fields.
