The form conjecture for odd norm-perfect Eisenstein integers

About 10 years old · traced to

Let α\alpha be an odd norm-perfect Eisenstein integer. An Eisenstein integer is odd when it is not divisible by 1−ω1-\omega, and an odd prime is an odd Eisenstein integer that is prime. Two Eisenstein integers share no common non-unit factors when every common divisor is a unit.

Odd norm-perfect form conjecture. The integer α\alpha must have the form

α=πkγ3,\alpha=\pi^k\gamma^3,

where π\pi and γ\gamma are both odd Eisenstein integers, π\pi is an odd prime, k≡2(mod3)k\equiv 2\pmod{3}, and π\pi and γ\gamma share no common non-unit factors.

The authors report that they have not found any odd norm-perfect Eisenstein integer and state this claim as the expected structure if one exists. Its status is unresolved in the source.
