contents Under GRH, any element in the multiplicative group of a number field $K$ that is globally primitive (i.e., not a perfect power in $K^*$) is a primitive root modulo a set of primes of $K$ of positive density. For elliptic curves $E/K$ that are known to have infinitely many primes $\mathfrak p$ of cyclic reduction, possibly under GRH, a globally primitive point $P\in E(K)$ may fail to generate any of the point groups $E(k_{\mathfrak p})$. We describe this phenomenon in terms of an associated Galois representation $ρ_{E/K, P}:G_K\to\mathrm{GL}_3(\hat{\mathbf Z})$, and use it to construct non-trivial examples of global points on elliptic curves that are locally imprimitive.

For elliptic curves $E/K$ that are known to have infinitely many primes $\mathfrak p$ of cyclic reduction, possibly under GRH, a globally primitive point $P\in E(K)$ may fail to generate any of the point groups $E(k_{\mathfrak p})$.
