Nonexistence of cyclotomic norm representations for two candidate multipliers

Let nn be an even integer with n16n\geq 16 and n0(mod4)n\equiv 0\pmod{4}. Let ζ2n\zeta_{2n} be a primitive 2n2nth root of unity, let η\overline{\eta} denote complex conjugation, and let λ1\lambda_1 be the multiplier under consideration. Nonexistence conjecture. There is no ηZ[ζ2n]\eta\in\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_{2n}] such that

λ1=ηη=4+ζ2n+ζ2n\lambda_1=\eta\overline{\eta}=4+\zeta_{2n}+\overline{\zeta_{2n}}

or such that

λ1=ηη=5+ζ2n+ζ2n.\lambda_1=\eta\overline{\eta}=5+\zeta_{2n}+\overline{\zeta_{2n}}.

The statement concerns the possible cyclotomic inflation multipliers obtained as norms of elements of Z[ζ2n]\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_{2n}]; the supplied text gives no resolution beyond the asserted nonexistence, so its status should be checked against the source.
