A positive integer $n$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a triangle with sides $a,b$ and $c$ for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $n\sqrt{r^2 - s^2}$, where $0 < \theta < \pi$, $\cos…
Let ${\mathbb K}={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $m>1$ is a squarefree integer. Suppose that $0 < \theta< \pi $ has rational cosine, say $\cos (\theta)=s/r$ with $0< |s|<r$ and $\gcd(r,s)=1$. A positive…
A positive integer $N$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a $\ta$-triangle $(a,b,c)$ with rational sides for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $N \sqrt{r^2-s^2}$, where $\theta \in (0,…
A positive integer $A$ is called a congruent number if $A$ is the area of a right-angled triangle with three rational sides. Equivalently, $A$ is a congruent number if and only if the congruent number curve $y^2=x^3-A^2x$ has a rational…
We introduce a new generalization of $\theta$-congruent numbers by defining the notion of rational $\theta$-parallelogram envelope for a positive integer $n$, where $\theta \in (0, \pi)$ is an angle with rational cosine. Then, we study more…
Let 0<\theta<\pi such that \cos\theta\in \Q. In this paper, we prove that for given positive square-free coprime integers k,l, there exist infinitely many pairs (M,N) of \theta-congruent numbers such that lN=kM. This generalize the previous…
From Euclid's fundamental formula for the Pythagorean triples we define the rational triples relating certain congruent numbers by an identity and explore their relationships. We introduce two geometric methods relating the congruent number…
The correspondence between right triangles with rational sides, triplets of rational squares in arithmetic succession and integral solutions of certain quadratic forms is well known. We show how this correspondence can be extended to the…
We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not…
To determine whether a number is congruent or not is an old and difficult topic and progress is slow. The paper presents a new theorem when a prime number is a congruent number or not. The proof is not necessarily any simpler or shorter…
A positive square-free integer is called a \textit{congruent number} if it arises as the area of a right triangle with rational side lengths. Let $ n = p_1p_2 \cdots p_t q $ be a square-free integer, where each $ p_i \equiv 1 \pmod{8} $ and…
We construct certain $\theta$-series associated to number fields and prove that for number fields of degree less than equal to 4, these $\theta$-series are number field invariants. We also investigate whether or not the collection of…
We present a, hopefully, elementary mathematical treatment of the computational aspects of congruent numbers, such that an amateur could understand the problem and perform their own calculations.
In this paper, we extend the work of \cite{Chahal} in several directions. We first determine all Heron triangles that tightly circumscribe the unit circle and the associated $\tau$-congruent numbers generated by them. We then characterize…
Given any positive integer n, we prove the existence of infinitely many right triangles with area n and side lengths in certain number fields. This generalizes the famous congruent number problem. The proof allows the explicit construction…
In this article, we study necessary conditions for certain square-free integers to be congruent numbers. Our method uses divisibility properties of class numbers of related imaginary quadratic fields. We first consider positive square-free…
A positive integer that is the area of some rational right triangle is called a congruent number. In an algebraic point of view, being a congruent number means satisfying a system of equations. As early as the 1800s, it is understood that…
Starting from any given rational-sided, right triangle, for example the $(3,4,5)$-triangle with area $6$, we use Euclidean geometry to show that there are infinitely many other rational-sided, right triangles of the same area. We show…
It is a classic result that two number fields have equal Dedekind zeta functions if and only if the arithmetic type of a prime $p$ is the same in both fields for almost all prime $p$. Here, almost all means with the possible exception of a…
It is easy to find a right-angled triangle with integer sides whose area is 6. There is no such triangle with area 5, but there is one with rational sides (a `\emph{Pythagorean triangle}'). For historical reasons, integers such as 6 or 5…
