Heron Angles, Heron Triangles, and Heron Parallelograms

Heron angle: both its sine and cosine are rational Heron triangle: all its sides and area are rational Heron Parallelogram: all its sides, diagonals and area are rational We give one-to-one (bijective) parametrizations for all three concepts.

No Perfect Cuboid

A rectangular parallelepiped is called a cuboid (standing box). It is called perfect if its edges, face diagonals and body diagonal all have integer length. Euler gave an example where only the body diagonal failed to be an integer (Euler brick). Are there perfect cuboids? We prove that there is no perfect cuboid.

Evolution, its Fractional Extension and Generalization

The evolution of a quantity, described by a function of space and time, relates the first derivative in time of this function to a spatial operator applied to the function. The initial value of the function at time $t=0$ is given. The fractional extension of this evolution consists of replacing the first derivative in time by a fractional derivative of order $α$, $0 < α\le 1$. We give a relationship between the solution of the equation of evolution and the solution of the equation belonging to its fractional extension.

The Speed of Light as a Dilaton Field

Through dimensional analysis, eliminating the physical time, we identify the speed of light as a dilaton field. This leads to a restmass zero, spin zero gauge field which we call the speedon field. The complete Lagrangian for gravitational, electromagnetic and speedon field interactions with a charged scalar field, representing matter, is given. We then find solutions for the gravitational-electromagnetic-speedon field equations. This then gives an expression for the speed of light.
