COMMENTS
Also norms of prime ideals in Z[(1+sqrt(5))/2], which is a unique factorization domain. The norm of a nonzero ideal I in a ring R is defined as the size of the quotient ring R/I.
Consists of the primes congruent to 0, 1, 4 modulo 5 and the squares of primes congruent to 2, 3 modulo 5.
For primes p == 1, 4 (mod 5), there are two distinct ideals with norm p in Z[(1+sqrt(5))/2], namely (x + y*(1+sqrt(5))/2) and (x + y*(1-sqrt(5))/2), where (x,y) is a solution to x^2 + x*y - y^2 = p; for p = 5, (sqrt(5)) is the unique ideal with norm p; for p == 2, 3 (mod 5), (p) is the only ideal with norm p^2.

EXAMPLE
norm((7 + sqrt(5))/2) = norm((7 - sqrt(5))/2) = 11;
norm((9 + sqrt(5))/2) = norm((9 - sqrt(5))/2) = 19;
norm((11 + sqrt(5))/2) = norm((11 - sqrt(5))/2) = 29;
norm(6 + sqrt(5)) = norm(6 - sqrt(5)) = 31.
