1. Abstract

There is a relationship between the primitiv Pythagorean triples (a,b,c) with a²+b²=c²
resp. the corresponding rational points of the circle with unit 1 (a/c)²+(b/c)²=1
and the group of the complex elements x²+y²=1 mod p where x, y are elements of Np.

In addition there is a similar relationship between the primitiv Pythagorean triples
resp. the corresponding rational points (c/b)²-(a/b)²=1 resp. (c/a)²-(b/a)²=1
and the group of the complex elements with x²-y²=1 mod p where x, y are elements of Np.

These relationships are one explication for the system of primes.

3. Mathematical proofs

    p an odd number > 1
    Let a,b,c a Pythagorean triple with c < p


a)    a²     + b²       = c²             by multiplication with (c²)⁻1
<=> (a/c)² +(b/c)²      = 1              with I²=-1
<=> (a/c)² -(bI/c)²     = 1



b)    a²     + b²       = c²             - b²
      a²                = c² -  b²       by multiplication with (a²)⁻1
<=> (c/a)² - (b/a)²     = 1              with I²=-1
<=> (a/c)² +(bI/c)²     = 1



c)    same caluclation, just -a² instead of -b²

    a²     + b²         = c²             - a²
                  b²    = c² -  a²       by multiplication with (b²)⁻1
<=> (c/b)² - (a/b)²     = 1              with I²=-1
<=> (c/b)² +(aI/b)²     = 1

4. Symmetry

The symmetry of the resulting group of the complex elements with norm=1
based on the commutativ structur of this group

a²+b²=b²+a²=c² resp.
(a/c)²-(bI/c)²=(b/c)²-(aI/c)²=1
and that x²+y²=(p-x)²+y²=x²+(p-y)²=(p-x)²+(p-y)² mod p;

Therefore one Pythagorean triple gives always 4 or 8 solutions with |x+YI|=1 mod p

The first trivial Pythagorean triple (0,1,1) gives the 4 solution (0,1), (1,0), (0,p-1) and (p-1,0).

If a Pythagorean triple has as result (x, y) with x=y then there are the following 4 solutions:
(x, x), (x, p-x), (p-x, x) and (p-x, p-x)

Otherwise there are 8 solutions for (x, y):
(x, y), (x, p-y), (p-x, y) and (p-x, p-y) and
(y, x), (y, p-x), (p-y, x) and (p-y, p-x)

5. Program in pseudocode

This is not a practical test for prime numbers, but a short description, how the webprogram works.
Let p an odd number > 1;
prime=True;
for i from all pyth. triples (a, b, c) with c < p
    if (gcd (c, prim)>1) then prime=False; break;
    calculation (a,b,c)-> (x, y);
    if (gcd (x, prim)>1) then prime=False; break;
    if (gcd (y, prim)>1) then prime=False; break;
    output of all elements of (x,y);
end_for;
if prime=True then p is prime;
