Integer cuboids are rectangular Diophantine parallelepipeds It has been discovered that these cuboids come in 3 varieties: Euler or body type, edge type, and face type. In all three cases, one edge or diagonal is irrational, all six others…

A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose all linear extents are given by integer numbers, i. e. its edges, its face diagonals, and its space diagonal are of integer lengths. None of perfect cuboids is known thus far. Their…

We present a novel approach to the age-old question of whether perfect cuboids exist. Our approach consists of two new computer search algorithms, arising from the analysis of "perfect plinths" reported by one of us recently, that are much…

Recently the problem of constructing a perfect Euler cuboid was related with three conjectures asserting the irreducibility of some certain three polynomials depending on integer parameters. In this paper a partial result toward proving the…

A perfect (Delaunay) ellipsoid is an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space that does not contain integral points in its interior, but is uniquely defined by integral points that lie on its surface. A perfect Delaunay polytope with…

A perfect triangle is a triangle with rational sides, medians, and area. In this article, we use a similar strategy due to Pocklington to show that if $\Delta$ is a perfect triangle, then it cannot be an isosceles triangle. It gives a…

In this paper we prove that there cannot exist a perfect Euler box with a semiprime side. We first display the proof, which uses nothing more than elementary number theory. Due to the elementary nature of this proof, it is possible that…

We study arithmetic constraints arising from the three faces meeting along the space diagonal of a rectangular cuboid. Using a propagation mechanism along this diagonal, based on the appearance of a minimal odd prime in certain triangular…

This article discusses two versions of elliptic equations obtained from a system of equations describing a rational cuboid. Analysis of elliptic equations shows that they are equivalent, and that there are rational points on the elliptic…

We consider right prisms with horizontal quadrilateral bases and tops, and vertical rectangular sides. We look for examples where all the edges, face diagonals and space diagonals are integers. We find examples when the base is an isosceles…

A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges, whose face diagonals, and whose space diagonal are of integer lengths. The second cuboid conjecture specifies a subclass of perfect cuboids described by one Diophantine equation…

We show that the perfect Euler brick (perfect cuboid) problem is equivalent to the following elementary question: do there exist coprime integers $a, b, m, n$ such that the two expressions $(2(a^2-b^2)mn)^2 + ((a^2+b^2)(m^2-n^2))^2$ and…

We consider nearly-perfect cuboids (NPC), where the only irrational is one of the face diagonals. Obtained are three rational parametrizations for NPC with one parameter.

A body cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges and integer face diagonals; if its space diagonal is also integer, it is a perfect cuboid, whose existence is a long-standing open problem. We make two contributions to the…

To understand the structure of an algebraic variety we often embed it in various projective spaces. This develops the notion of projective geometry which has been an invaluable tool in algebraic geometry. We develop a perfectoid analog of…

Similarly to the classic notion in $E^d$, a subset of a positive diameter below $\frac{\pi}{2}$ of a hemisphere of the sphere $S^d$ is called complete, provided adding any extra point increases its diameter. Complete sets are convex bodies…
