%N Number of Eisenstein-Jacobi primes of successive norms (indexed by A055664).

%C These are the primes in the ring of integers a+b*omega, a and b rational integers, omega = (1+sqrt(-3))/2.

%e There are 6 Eisenstein-Jacobi primes of norm 3, omega-omega^2 times one of the 6 units [ +-1, +-omega, +-omega^2 ] but only one up to equivalence.
