The randomness of arithmetic functions with respect to linear correlations can be measured by Gowers uniformity norms. We show that the von Mangoldt function of primes restricted to a fixed Chebotarev class varies randomly around its average, up to structure arising from congruences to small moduli. By the inverse theory of Green-Tao-Ziegler, we can achieve this by studying correlations with nilsequences. Under GRH, we get analogous results for primes with a prescribed primitive root. This is joint work with Magdaléna Tinková.
