Finding such a cuboid is equivalent to finding a perfect cuboid with all integer edges and diagonals, which is an old unsolved problem. Recently, based on a symmetry approach, it was shown that edges and face diagonals of rational perfect cuboid are roots of two cubic equations whose coefficients depend on two rational parameters. Six special cases where these cubic equations are reducible have been already found. Two more possible cases of reducibility for these cubic equations are considered in the present paper. They lead to a pair of elliptic curves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-08-06T18:10:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D25", "11D72", "12E05", "14E05", "14G05", "14H52" ], "keywords": [ "elliptic curves", "cubic equations", "rational perfect cuboid", "face diagonals", "integer edges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "AMS-TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.1227S" } } }
