Seven squares from three numbers

arXiv:2604.08729

Abstract

We study triples {a,b,c} of distinct nonzero rational numbers such that a+1,b+1,c+1,ab+1,ac+1,bc+1 and abc+1 are all perfect squares. We prove that there exist infinitely many such triples. In contrast, we show that no triple of positive integers has this property.
