The Surface Parametrizing Cuboids
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the surface S̄ parametrizing cuboids: it is defined by the equations relating the sides, face diagonals and long diagonal of a rectangular box. It is an open problem whether a ‘rational box’ exists, i.e., a rectangular box all of whose sides, face diagonals and long diagonal have (positive) rational length. The question is equivalent to the existence of nontrivial rational points on S̄. Let S be the minimal desingularization of S̄ (which has 48 isolated singular points). The main result of this paper is the explicit determination of the Picard group of S, including its structure as a Galois module over Q. The main ingredient for showing that the known subgroup is actually the full Picard group is the use of the combined action of the Galois group and the geometric automorphism group of S (which we also determine) on the Picard group. This reduces the proof to checking that the hyperplane section is not divisible by 2 in the Picard group.

Increasing Surface Plasmons Propagation via Photonic Nanojets with Periodically Spaced 3D Dielectric Cuboids
A structure based on periodically arranged 3D dielectric cuboids connected by photonic nanojets (PNJs) is proposed with the aim of increasing the propagation distance of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at the telecom wavelength of 1550 nm. The performance of the structure is evaluated and compared with the case without the cuboids demonstrating that the SPPs propagation length is enhanced by ...
متن کاملOn the Computation of Maximal-Correlated Cuboids Cells
The main idea of iceberg data cubing methods relies on optimization techniques for computing only the cuboids cells above certain minimum support threshold. Even using such approach the curse of dimensionality remains, given the large number of cuboids to compute, which produces, as we know, huge outputs. However, more recently, some efforts have been done on computing only closed cuboids. Neve...
متن کاملTunable Dielectric Properties of Ferrite-Dielectric Based Metamaterial
A ferrite-dielectric metamaterial composed of dielectric and ferrite cuboids has been investigated by experiments and simulations. By interacting with the electromagnetic wave, the Mie resonance can take place in the dielectric cuboids and the ferromagnetic precession will appear in the ferrite cuboids. The magnetic field distributions show the electric Mie resonance of the dielectric cuboids c...
متن کاملTorelli Theorem for the Moduli Spaces of Connections on a Riemann Surface
Let (X , x0) be any one–pointed compact connected Riemann surface of genus g, with g ≥ 3. Fix two mutually coprime integers r > 1 and d. Let MX denote the moduli space parametrizing all logarithmic SL(r, C)–connections, singular over x0, on vector bundles over X of degree d. We prove that the isomorphism class of the variety MX determines the Riemann surface X uniquely up to an isomorphism, alt...
متن کاملExact and Asymptotic Evaluation of the Number of Distinct Primitive Cuboids
We express the number of distinct primitive cuboids with given odd diagonal in terms of the twisted Euler function with alternating Dirichlet character of period four, and two counting formulas for binary sums of squares. Based on the asymptotic behaviour of the sums of these formulas, we derive an approximation formula for the cumulative number of primitive cuboids.
