On sums of four pentagonal numbers with coefficients (2001.05325v4)

Published 14 Jan 2020 in math.NT

Abstract: The pentagonal numbers are the integers given by $p_5(n)=n(3n-1)/2\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. Let $(b,c,d)$ be one of the triples $(1,1,2),(1,2,3),(1,2,6)$ and $(2,3,4)$. We show that each $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ can be written as $w+bx+cy+dz$ with $w,x,y,z$ pentagonal numbers, which was first conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2016. In particular, any nonnegative integer is a sum of five pentagonal numbers two of which are equal; this refines a classical result of Cauchy claimed by Fermat.
