Rational Points in Geometric Progression on the Unit Circle

Number Theory 2020-10-09 v1

Abstract

A sequence of rational points on an algebraic planar curve is said to form an rr-geometric progression sequence if either the abscissae or the ordinates of these points form a geometric progression sequence with ratio rr. In this work, we prove the existence of infinitely many rational numbers rr such that for each rr there exist infinitely many rr-geometric progression sequences on the unit circle x2+y2=1x^2 + y^2 = 1 of length at least 33.
