We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number, for a rational prime $p$ which is inert in the field the maximal order of the unit modulo $p$ is $p^2-1$. An extension of Artin's conjecture is that there are infinitely many such inert primes for which this order is maximal. we show that for any choice of 85 algebraic numbers satisfying a certain simple restriction, there is at least one of the algebraic numbers which satisfies the above version of Artin's conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-01-09T10:56:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R04", "11N69" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic number", "artins conjecture", "artins primitive root conjecture", "real quadratic fields", "simple restriction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......1120C" } } }
