Encyclopedia > Eisenstein prime

An Eisenstein prime is an Eisenstein integer aω + b that has only two Eisenstein divisors, the complex cube root of unity and aω + b itself. In mathematics, Eisenstein integers are complex numbers of the form aω + b where ω is a complex cube root of unity, and a and b are rational integers. ...


Cox and Wagon proved that besides 1 - ω, there are only three kinds of Eisenstein primes:

  1. aω + b such that a2ab + b2 is a natural prime number of the form 3n + 1.
  1. aω2 + b such that a2ab + b2 is a natural prime number of the form 3n + 1.
  1. aω + b where a = 0 (and thus there is no imaginary part) and b is a natural prime number of the form 3n − 1.

Therefore, this last kind of Eisenstein prime is also a kind of natural prime. The first few Eisenstein primes of this form are: In mathematics, a prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than one whose only positive divisors are one and itself. ...
