abstract =     {We examine all primes of the form $b^n-1$ in imaginary
quadratic number fields, noting that besides a finite list of specific
prime numbers, we find only three interesting classes of primes.
Using the rational Mersenne primes (the first of the three cases) as
a model, we follow Robert Spira and Mike Oakes in defining the
Gaussian Mersenne primes to be the primes of the form $(1\pm)^p-1$
and the Eisenstein Mersenne primes to be the primes of the form
$((3\pm\sqrt{-3}/2)^p-1.$  We show how to characterize these via their norms,
list the known examples and speculate on their distributions.}
