List the primes p<25p < 25 that are inert (remain prime) in the Gaussian integers Z[i]\mathbb{Z}[i]. Enter them as a set, for example {2, 5}.

Write elements separated by commas. Order and repeats don’t matter — just like in a set!

In the proof that a Dedekind UFD is a PID, we find an irreducible π\pi with (π)⊆p(\pi) \subseteq \mathfrak{p} for a non-zero prime p\mathfrak{p} and conclude (π)=p(\pi) = \mathfrak{p}. Which property is used for this last step?

In R=Z[−3]R = \mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-3}], let p=(2,1+−3)\mathfrak{p} = (2, 1 + \sqrt{-3}). One checks that p2=2p\mathfrak{p}^2 = 2\mathfrak{p} although p≠(2)\mathfrak{p} \neq (2). Which hypothesis of Theorem 4 fails, and where does the proof break?

What is the rank of the unit group OK×\mathcal{O}_K^\times for K=Q(23)K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})? (The minimal polynomial x3−2x^3 - 2 has one real root and two complex conjugate roots.)

Write inert_primes(d, bound) returning the sorted list of primes p<boundp < \text{bound} that are inert in Q(d)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt d) (d≠0,1d \ne 0, 1 squarefree). Use Dedekind–Kummer: with ω=d\omega = \sqrt d (d≡2,3 mod 4d \equiv 2, 3 \bmod 4) or ω=1+d2\omega = \frac{1 + \sqrt d}{2} (d≡1 mod 4d \equiv 1 \bmod 4), pp is inert exactly when the minimal polynomial of ω\omega has no root modulo pp.
