This is done by translating the problem to determining when some genus five curves C_D defined over Q have rational points, and then using a Mordell-Weil sieve argument among others. Using a elliptic Chabauty-like method, we prove that the only non-constant arithmetic progressions of five squares over Q(sqrt{409}), up to equivalence, is 7^2, 13^2, 17^2, 409, 23^2. Furthermore, we give an algorithm that allow to construct all the non-constant arithmetic progressions of five squares over all quadratic fields. Finally, we state several problems and conjectures related to this problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2013-01-24T10:32:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G30", "11B25", "11D45", "14H25" ], "keywords": [ "quadratic fields", "non-constant arithmetic progressions", "mordell-weil sieve argument", "quadratic number fields", "rational points" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0909.1663G" } } }
