Polynomial $D(4)$-quadruples over Gaussian Integers

Abstract

A set $\{a,b,c,d\}$ of four non-zero distinct polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$ is said to be a Diophantine $D(4)$-quadruple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by 4 is a square of some polynomial in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$. In this paper we prove that every $D(4)$-quadruple in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$ is regular, or equivalently that the equation $$(a+b-c-d{)}^2=(ab+4)(cd+4)$$ holds for every $D(4)$-quadruple in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$.
