In algebra, a Pythagorean field is a field mathematics field in which every sum of two squares is a square. A Pythagorean extension of a field F is an extension obtained by adjoining an element mrad 1 &lambda sup 2 sup for some in F . So a Pythagorean field is one closure mathematics closed under taking Pythagorean extensions. For any field there is a minimal Pythagorean field containing it, unique up to isomorphism , called its Pythagorean closure . Pythagorean fields can be used to construct models for some of Hilbert s axioms for geometry harv Ito 1980 loc 163 C . The analytic geometry given by F sup n sup for F a Pythagorean field satisfies many of Hilbert s axioms, such as the incidence axioms, the congruence axioms and the axioms of parallels. However, in general this geometry need not satisfy all Hilbert s axioms unless the field F has extra properties for example, if the field is also ordered then the geometry will satisfy Hilbert s ordering axioms, and if the field is also complete the geometry will satisfy Hilbert s completeness axiom. The Pythagorean closure of a non archimedean ordered field , such as the Pythagorean closure of the field of rational function s Q t in one variable over the rational numbers Q , can be used to construct non archimedean geometries that satisfy many of Hilbert s axioms but not his axiom of completeness harv Ito 1980 loc 163 D . Dehn used such a field to construct a non Legendrian geometry and a semi Euclidean geometry in which there are many lines though a point not intersecting a given line. The Witt group Witt ring of a Pythagorean field is of order 2 if the field is not Formally real field formally real , and torsion free otherwise.

Refimprove date November 2007 A Pythagorean prime is prime number of the form 4 n 1. These are exactly the primes that can be the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triangle . The first few Pythagorean primes are 5 number 5 , 13 number 13 , 17 number 17 , 29 number 29 , 37 number 37 , 41 number 41 , 53 number 53 , 61 number 61 , 73 number 73 , 89 number 89 , 97 number 97 , 101 number 101 , 109 number 109 , 113 number 113 , OEIS id A002144 . Fermat s theorem on sums of two squares states that these primes can be represented as sums of two squares uniquely up to order , and that no other primes can be represented this way, aside from 2 1 sup 2 sup 1 sup 2 sup . Thus these primes and 2 occur as norms of Gaussian integers , while other primes do not. The law of quadratic reciprocity says that if p and q are distinct odd primes, at least one of which is Pythagorean, then p is a quadratic residue mod q if and only if q is a quadratic residue mod p by contrast, if neither p nor q is Pythagorean, then p is a quadratic residue mod q if and only if q is not a quadratic residue mod p . &minus 1 is a quadratic residue mod p if and only if p is a Pythagorean prime or 2 .

This operation provides a simple notation and terminology when the summands are complicated for example, the energy momentum relation in physics becomes math E mc 2 oplus pc. math Properties The operation is associative and commutative, and math sqrt x 1 2 x 2 2 cdots x n 2 x 1 oplus x 2 oplus cdots oplus x n math . This is enough to form the real numbers into a commutative semigroup . However, is not a Group mathematics group operation for the following reasons. The only element which could potentially act as an identity element is 0, since an identity e must satisfy e e e . This yields the equation math sqrt 2 e e math , but if e is nonzero then math sqrt 2 1 math is a contradiction, so e could only be zero. Unfortunately 0 does not work as an identity element after all, since 0 1 1. This does indicate, however, that if the operation is restricted to nonnegative real numbers, then 0 does act as an identity. Consequently the operation acting on the nonnegative real numbers forms a commutative monoid .
