Congruent number conjecture for angles pi/3 and 2pi/3

Let nn be a squarefree positive integer. A positive integer is a θ\theta-congruent number if it is the area of a triangle with rational side lengths and angle θ\theta. The residue classes below are taken modulo 2424.

Congruent number conjecture for angles π/3\pi/3 and 2π/32\pi/3. If

n11,13,17, or 23(mod24),n\equiv 11,13,17,\text{ or }23\pmod{24},

then nn is a π/3\pi/3-congruent number; and if

n5,17,19, or 23(mod24),n\equiv 5,17,19,\text{ or }23\pmod{24},

then nn is a 2π/32\pi/3-congruent number.

The conjecture extends the classical congruent-number conjecture to these two angles. The paper gives several results for primes in the asserted residue classes, but the full statements for squarefree integers remain unproved.
