Eisenstein Integer - Euclidean Domain

Euclidean Domain

The ring of Eisenstein integers forms a Euclidean domain whose norm N is given by

This can be derived as follows:

\begin{align}N(a+b\,\omega) &=|a+b\,\omega|^2\\ &=(a+b\,\omega)(a+b\,\bar\omega)\\ &=a^2 + ab(\omega+\bar\omega) + b^2\\ &=a^2 - ab + b^2\end{align}

Famous quotes containing the word domain:

    “While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
