$D(-1)$-triples of triangular numbers

Number Theory 2026-04-01 v1

Abstract

We study pairs and triples consisting of triangular numbers such that the product of any two distinct elements decreased by 1 is a perfect square. For a positive integer nn, we establish a necessary condition for the nn-th triangular number TnT_n to be a member of such a pair, and we prove that any such TnT_n is also a member of infinitely many D(1)D(-1)-triples.
