In this work, we prove the existence of infinitely many rational numbers $r$ such that for each $r$ there exist infinitely many $r$-geometric progression sequences on the unit circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ of length at least $3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-08T08:14:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G05", "14G05" ], "keywords": [ "unit circle", "rational points", "geometric progression sequence", "algebraic planar curve", "points form" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
