Rational Diophantine sextuples with mixed signs

چکیده
A rational Diophantine m-tuple is a set of m nonzero rationals such that the product of any two of them is one less than a perfect square. Recently Gibbs constructed several examples of rational Diophantine sextuples with positive elements. In this note, we construct examples of rational Diophantine sextuples with mixed signs. Indeed, we show that such examples exist for all possible combinations of signs.

On the Rank of Elliptic Curves Coming from Rational Diophantine Triples
We construct a family of Diophantine triples {c1(t), c2(t), c3(t)} such that the elliptic curve over Q(t) induced by this triple, i.e.: y = (c1(t) x + 1)(c2(t) x + 1)(c3(t) x + 1) has torsion group isomorphic to Z/2Z× Z/2Z and rank 5. This represents an improvement of the result of A. Dujella, who showed a family of this kind with rank 4. By specialization we obtain two examples of elliptic cur...
متن کاملOn the Diophantine Equation x^6+ky^3=z^6+kw^3
Given the positive integers m,n, solving the well known symmetric Diophantine equation xm+kyn=zm+kwn, where k is a rational number, is a challenge. By computer calculations, we show that for all integers k from 1 to 500, the Diophantine equation x6+ky3=z6+kw3 has infinitely many nontrivial (y≠w) rational solutions. Clearly, the same result holds for positive integers k whose cube-free part is n...
متن کاملOn the size of Diophantine m-tuples
Let n be a nonzero integer. A set of m positive integers {a1, a2, . . . , am} is said to have the property D(n) if aiaj + n is a perfect square for all 1 ≤ i < j ≤ m. Such a set is called a Diophantine m-tuple (with the property D(n)), or Pn-set of size m. Diophantus found the quadruple {1, 33, 68, 105} with the property D(256). The first Diophantine quadruple with the property D(1), the set {1...
متن کاملOn the Mapping of the Sextuples of the Symmetric Substitution Group G6 in a Plane upon a Quadric* by Arnold Emch
The six permutations of three elements #i, x 2 , x 3 considered as projective coordinates in a plane determine an involution of sextuples of points which may be mapped on a rational surface, f I shall show that in case of the involution thus defined the map is a quadric whose relation with the plane, established with sufficient details, will lead to some interesting geometric applications. The ...
متن کاملA Note on Diophantine Quintuples
Introduction. Diophantus noted that the rational numbers 1/16, 33/16, 17/4 and 105/16 have the following property: the product of any two of them increased by 1 is a square of a rational number (see [2, 3]). Let n be an integer. A set of positive integers {a1, a2, . . . , am} is said to have the property D(n) if aiaj + n is a perfect square for all 1 ≤ i < j ≤ m. Such a set is called a Diophant...
