28.5 Correspondence between(2h+1)-gonal and 4 h-
gonal triples
Letk 1 <k 2 be two positive integers≥ 5. Theorem 2 suggests that there
is a one-to-one correspondence betweenk 1 -gonal triples andk 2 -gonal
triples, provided(k 1 −2)′=(k 2 −2)′. This is the case if and only if
k 1 =2h+1,k 2 =4h,for someh≥ 2. (28.12)
In this case,(k 1 −2)′=(k 2 −2)′=2h− 1 , while(k 1 −4)′=2h− 3 ,
and(k 2 −4)′=2h− 2. The(2h+1)-gonal triple(a, b, c)and a 4 h-gonal
triple(a′,b′,c′)are related by
(m−n)(c−c′)≡
n
2 h− 1
(modm^2 +n^2 ).
