Abstract

Let F=x2+y2z2F=x^2+y^2-z^2, x0Z3x_0 \in \mathbb{Z}^3 primitive with F(x0)=0F(x_0)=0, and ΓSOF(Z)\Gamma \leq SO_F(\mathbb{Z}) be a finitely generated thin subgroup. We consider the resulting thin orbits of Pythagorean triples x0Γx_0 \cdot \Gamma - specifically which hypotenuses, areas, and products of all three coordinates arise. We produce infinitely many RR-almost primes in these three cases whenever Γ\Gamma has exponent δΓ>δ0(R)\delta_\Gamma>\delta_0(R) for explicit RR, δ0\delta_0.
