Integral norm polynomials and the two signed plane equations needed to count square-norm generators. The norm polynomial retains the full number-field degree even when its parameter lies in a proper subfield.
The integer norm polynomial of β ∈ 𝓞 K: the characteristic polynomial of multiplication by
β, whose value at x ∈ ℤ is the norm N(x - β).

The integer norm polynomial of an algebraic integer is monic.
The integer norm polynomial of an algebraic integer of K has degree [K : ℚ].
The integer norm polynomial of β evaluated at x ∈ ℤ is the norm N(x - β).
The signed norm-curve polynomial y ^ 2 - ε * N(x - β) in the plane coordinates (y, x),
where N(x - β) is the integer norm polynomial of β: on an integral point the first
coordinate is a square root of the norm and the second is the integral translation parameter.

If |N(x - β)| = m ^ 2, then (m, x) is an integral point on one of the two signed norm curves
y ^ 2 = N(x - β) or y ^ 2 = -N(x - β).
